Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique number that acts as an identity proof of residents in India. It is unique to each resident and can be obtained voluntarily by providing basic biometric and demographic data to the UIDAI or the Unique Identification Authority of India. However, one must note that Aadhaar is just proof of residence and not citizenship of India. 

There can be many reasons to change your address in Aadhaar, such as relocating, spelling, or pincode errors. Although demographic and biometric details can only be updated at Aadhaar registered centres, you can update only your address online without visiting any centre. The guide for Aadhaar card address change online is shared further.
