Aadhaar Update: Address, Mobile Number, Name and Document Update
Short answer
Address and supporting documents can be updated online at myAadhaar.uidai.gov.in with an Aadhaar-linked mobile number. Name, date of birth, gender and mobile number changes require a visit to an Aadhaar enrolment or update centre with original documents and biometrics. UIDAI also asks residents to re-verify identity and address documents periodically.
Eligibility
- Any Aadhaar holder.
- Online update requires a mobile number already linked to Aadhaar for OTP.
- Children who turned 5 or 15 need mandatory biometric update.
Required documents
- Proof of identity: passport, PAN, voter ID, driving licence
- Proof of address: electricity bill, bank passbook, ration card, rent agreement
- Proof of date of birth for DOB correction
- Original documents at the centre for offline updates
Step-by-step process
- Open myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and log in with your Aadhaar number and OTP.
- Choose Update Aadhaar and select the field you need to change.
- Enter the new value in English and the local language as prompted.
- Upload a clear scan of the supporting document.
- Pay the update fee if applicable and save the URN (Update Request Number).
- Track the request with the URN and download the updated Aadhaar PDF once approved.
- For name, DOB, gender or mobile changes, book an appointment at an enrolment centre instead.
