New Delhi: Your Aadhaar card isn’t just another ID, it’s a vital document linked to your bank accounts, mobile number, and access to government services. That’s why keeping the information on it, especially your address, accurate and up to date is so important. The good news? You don’t need to visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra to update your address as it can be done quickly and easily online.
