The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), in a new innovative step, has now made it possible for the citizens to change their current address even when they don’t have any records to prove their address.
This process can be accomplished simply by submitting an address validation letter online with the aid of an address validator. This validator could be any family member, friend, or homeowner who has given permission to use that address.
However, you must also take note that you can change your address only if you adhere to certain criteria. This include rules like both the resident’s and the address verifier’s mobile numbers should be linked to their respective Aadhaar number, the resident and the address verifier must be verified through OTP, and the address verifier must be authorised for use in the address database.
