        Hi Everyone,
        So my aadhar card was made in 2010 and i have been using it till date and we used to live in let’s say delhi. My family was transfered to delhi and we sold our house and we moved to indore in 2017 and lived on rent till 2024 end. We have a new address now and I had to go get it updated on my aadhar card and I always wanted to get my aadhar picture updated. I went for biometric and iris scan in Delhi, akshardham on 18th jan and till date addhar status shows in progress. I went via agent as I was out of India for quiet a while and I wanted to escape chaos and he demanded 1200 INR which I paid him and he helped with appointment booking and stuff. Now my passport is expiring and i want to renew it on my new address however I cannot do it as my aadhar is still in progrss and I have to fly out of India by 20th February any how. When i call the agent he just doesnt pick my call anymore and idk why. I had few questions
        1. What is the normal processing time for aadhar generation? Also note: they didn’t ask for my new address and just cliked a picture and did iris scan and finger print. How will rhe address update?
        2. Can i get a new passport if anyone has reliable agent who can help me with, i can pay decent commission if required i just need my renewed passport by 20th February.
        3. Why did that guy charge me 1200 if he did no help?
        4. I have an apartment from last 2 years on rent which I barely stayed but have been in good terms with owner and have rental agreement till March 1st, can i get the passport on that address withour any hassle or it’s illegal? Later when I come back india in aug, i can change it to my original address.

        Can anyone help ? I need it before 18th anyhow else iโ€™d be stuck in India ๐Ÿ™

          Well, I can’t say anything about Passport as i doesn’t have it, but i recently updated the information in my aadhar card.

          So, I updated my Number, as i was a kid when my aadhar was made, so my father mobile number was attached with it. They changes your picture every time you visits them, the normal proceeding time that they gives is 1 week. Although, mostly it makes 2 days.

          All my friends who have changed any info in aadhar, their update was successful in 2 days including Address. You said, that they did not ask for new address info, which is suspicious.

          1) Go to UIDAI website, log into your Addhar profile and check if the new photo is there. If the new profile picture is there, that means the update was successful , and your agent messed up something, as you said, he did not ask for new address.

          2) If it’s not update, and hanged somewhere, it could also means, as the new address was not provided to the server, the officers in department have hanged your addhar request.

              Thanks for reply.
              I went for biometric and agent said once photo and this is done you can change the address directly.
              I went on Jan 15th and its been 2 weeks.
              I check the portal and it says its in process and shir.

                  I tried changing my address, and read some conditions, The proof of address is a necessary document in this updating process, a list is also provided. You can update it using two method

                  Head of family, and Document update.

                  Head of family method is much easier, so if your family’s head address is already updated, you can change yours using this method.

                  In next one, it asks for you Proof of address, and You can do it on your own too, I guess, I am not sure, if the agents involvement is necessary here, maybe he just updated your photo, and now you have to complete the process using online service on UIDAI, i am not sure, but i think, it’s possible.

                  Maybe my friends agent did both, and while your didn’t. IDk, understanding your situation is pretty complex from here.

                      My agent just helped me book an appointment for the centre. It was a cyber cafe/addhar assistance centre.
                      I went to the centre with a code he gave me and there were 1000s of people there for aadhar.
                      She clicked my picture and did biometric and gave me one enrollment number to track .
                      Ah man, its sooo messed up.

                          Maybe ask for help from your agent, or just wait, and if nothing works try the online address changing server.
