Can someone update my Aadhaar address without my own document, using a family member's proof?

Yes, UIDAI has a 'Resident Consent' option where you can use an address proof belonging to your head of family, along with their consent, if you don't have a proof in your own name.

How long does an address update take to reflect?

It typically completes within a few weeks of submission, subject to document verification. Use the URN to check current status rather than guessing.

Is there a fee to update the address?

Yes, a small official fee applies for demographic updates — check the current amount shown on the UIDAI portal at the time of submission.
