This method has been supplemented with the facility of proof of residence document which is currently pending. Any person above 18 years of age can be considered as head of household and can share his address with relatives for this purpose.
While changing the address through internet https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ One can use this option on the site. After that, the reference number of the head of the family should be registered for the verification process. Then, the resident has to upload the documentary proof of relationship.
The fee for using this service is Rs. 50 to be paid. An SMS will be sent to the head of the household after payment of the fee. The head of the family should give his consent on the above mentioned website within 30 days from the date of receipt of notification.
