Aadhaar-PAN Update: Here’s how to update your address when you move house—the online process gets it done in minutes..

If you have recently moved to a new home or relocated to a different place, it is important to update your new address in your Aadhaar and PAN card. These documents are used for banking, tax purposes, and various government services. The good news is that you no longer need to make repeated visits to government offices to update your address on these cards; you can apply online from the comfort of your home.

How to update your address on your Aadhaar card?
You can use the official UIDAI 'myAadhaar' portal to update the address on your Aadhaar card. This requires a mobile number linked to your Aadhaar, as an OTP (One-Time Password) is needed for the login and verification process.

Step-by-step process for updating your address on your Aadhaar card:
1. Visit the official UIDAI 'myAadhaar' portal.
2. Enter your Aadhaar number and log in using the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
3. Select the option to update your address.
4. Carefully enter your new address.
5. Upload a valid proof of address in the required format.
6. Review all the information and submit your application.
7. Keep the request number provided upon submission; you can use it to track the status of your update.

Please note that submitting an application does not mean your address will be updated immediately. The UIDAI approves the update only after verifying the submitted documents and information.

How to update your address on your PAN card?
An online facility is also available for updating the address on your PAN card. If your PAN is linked to your Aadhaar and your new address has already been updated in your Aadhaar, you can use the Aadhaar-based e-KYC facility to update your address in the PAN database.

How to update your address on your PAN card:
1. Visit the official Protean website.
2. Enter the required information related to your PAN and Aadhaar. 3. Provide your consent to initiate the Aadhaar-based e-KYC process.
4. Complete the verification using the OTP sent to your registered mobile number or email address.
5. Once the information is verified, the address recorded in your Aadhaar can be updated in the PAN database.
6. Retain the confirmation details and updates related to your application.

To use this facility, your PAN must be linked to your Aadhaar. According to the official Protean portal, there is no fee for using this Aadhaar-based address update facility.

What documents are required for an address update?
To update your address using your Aadhaar, you must provide proof of address that is accepted by the UIDAI. Depending on the eligibility criteria and specific requirements, this may include documents such as a passport, voter ID, bank statement, electricity or water bill, or a ration card.
