How to Change Pin Code in Aadhaar Card

Changing your pin code in Aadhaar card is simpler than you think. This guide shows you how to update it quickly so your address matches your records.

Why update your pin code?

If you’ve moved or the pin code on your address in your Aadhaar is wrong, it can create issues — bank verifications fail, address proof mismatches, and you might face delays in services.

Quick checklist – update pin code

• Visit your nearest Aadhaar Enrolment/Update Centre (or go online via portal if available)
   
• Bring your current Aadhaar copy and address proof showing correct pin code
   
• Fill the “Address Update / Correction” form and specifically update the pin code field
   
• Pay the update fee (usually ₹50) and collect your acknowledgement slip with URN
   
• Track your update status and download the updated e-Aadhaar once processed
   

Documents you need

You’ll need one valid proof of address (POA) showing your correct pin code — e.g., a bank statement, electricity bill, ration card, or government ID with the new pin code. Make sure the document is under your name and clearly shows the pin code.

Real-life example

Here’s an example: Meena moved from Mumbai’s 400013 to Navi Mumbai’s 400706. She visited her Aadhaar update centre with her Aadhaar, new electricity bill (pin 400706), filled the form, submitted, paid fee, got URN and after about 10 days downloaded her updated e-Aadhaar with correct pin code. Simple!

How long and cost?

Usually the update costs ₹50 and can take anywhere from 7 to 30 days depending on workload. Quick tip: check your mobile number is registered with Aadhaar as you’ll get SMS updates.
