Aadhaar card is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) – the issuer of the Aadhaar card under the biometric ID programme – provides a range of online facilities for applicants and enrollees. It allows users to change, correct or update the address fed into their Aadhaar profile by submitting valid documents digitally. Registered persons can do this this either through the UIDAI portal, uidai.gov.in, or mobile app mAadhaar. The UIDAI is the manager of the Aadhaar programme, and the issuer of the 12-digit Aadhaar personal identification number (also known as Unique Identity Number).

You will have to visit an Aadhaar centre to change your address in case your mobile number is not registered or you are no longer in possession of the mobile number.
Enter the OTP or one-time passcode to proceed.
Select the “address update” checkbox, and enter the required details.
Once you have filled the complete address, you are required to upload the scanned copies of original supporting documents.
After completion of this process, the UIDAI issues a new Aadhaar card and sends it at the new address provided by the user.
Save the Update Request Number (URN) provided by the UIDAI portal carefully. This number can be used to track the status of your request.
