Key takeaways
- Your KYC records must stay current; address changes and some account events need re-KYC.
- Aadhaar-based online verification is usually the quickest route.
- KYC is a one-time exercise across intermediaries, but updates to your details must still be made.
- Keep your PAN linked to Aadhaar to avoid KYC problems.
KYC is a one-time exercise: once completed through a SEBI-registered intermediary, it need not be repeated with another intermediary. But your details must stay accurate. If you move house, change your name, or your KYC status is flagged, you will need to update it. This guide covers the general process on an Angel One account.
Screens change with app updates, so follow the current steps in the Angel One app or the support section of angelone.in.
When you need to update KYC
- You have moved to a new address.
- Your name has changed, for example after marriage.
- Your KYC status shows as on hold or needs validation.
- You are reactivating an account that has been inactive for a long time.
- Your broker asks you to complete periodic re-KYC.
Documents usually accepted for address
- Aadhaar, verified through OTP or DigiLocker (usually the quickest).
- Passport.
- Driving licence.
- Voter ID.
The app lists the documents it currently accepts. The address on the document must match the address you enter.
General steps
- Log in to the Angel One app or website.
- Open your profile and find the personal or KYC details section.
- Choose to update your address, or start re-KYC if prompted.
- Verify through Aadhaar OTP or DigiLocker, or upload an accepted document.
- Complete any in-person verification step if asked; it is often a short selfie or video done in the app.
- E-sign the request with the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
- Wait for confirmation that the update has been approved.
Common problems
- PAN not linked to Aadhaar: link them on the income tax e-filing website, then retry.
- Name mismatch: your name must match across PAN, Aadhaar and bank records. Correct the source document first.
- Unclear uploads: use a clear, uncropped image of the full document.
- Aadhaar mobile not working: update the mobile number linked to Aadhaar at an Aadhaar centre before trying online verification.
Checking your KYC status
Your KYC is recorded with a KYC Registration Agency (KRA). You can check your status on the KRA websites using your PAN. If it shows as on hold or not validated, update it through your broker or another intermediary so it becomes valid again.
Why keeping KYC current protects you
Outdated KYC is more than a paperwork problem. If your address or contact details are wrong, you may miss statements and notices about your account, and your KYC status can be put on hold, which can stop new investments until it is fixed.
Accurate KYC also makes life easier for your family. When your records are current, claims through your nominee or legal heirs move faster. Reviewing your details once a year, or whenever something changes, is a small habit that avoids larger problems later.
Stay safe
- Make KYC updates only inside the official app or website.
- Ignore messages with links asking you to update KYC urgently; that is a common fraud.
- Never share your Aadhaar OTP with anyone helping you.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to update my address with every broker separately?
Each intermediary keeps its own account records, so update your address with each one where you hold an account, even though the central KYC record is shared.
How long does a KYC update take?
It depends on verification. Online Aadhaar-based updates are usually quicker than document uploads. The app shows the status.
Can Aadarna complete my re-KYC for me?
We can guide you, but you complete the verification and e-sign yourself in your own account. We never ask for your OTP.
