Your Aadhaar is the backbone of identity verification in India — used for bank KYC, PAN linking, government schemes, SIM cards and more. Keeping its details accurate and current matters. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) lets you update demographic and biometric details through the myAadhaar portal and at Aadhaar Seva Kendras.
What You Can Update
| Detail | How to update |
|---|---|
| Address | Online (myAadhaar) or at a Seva Kendra |
| Name | Seva Kendra (with document proof) |
| Date of birth | Seva Kendra (with proof) |
| Gender | Seva Kendra |
| Mobile / email | Seva Kendra (no document needed) |
| Photo / biometrics | Seva Kendra (biometric capture) |
📱 Mobile number is key: Many updates and almost all online services need your mobile number linked to Aadhaar for OTP. If yours isn't linked, update it at a Seva Kendra first.
Documents Required
UIDAI accepts a wide list of documents. Common ones include:
- Proof of Identity (PoI): PAN, passport, voter ID, driving license
- Proof of Address (PoA): electricity/water bill, bank passbook, rent agreement, passport
- Proof of Date of Birth (DoB): birth certificate, passport, PAN, SSC/class 10 certificate
- Proof of Relationship (PoR): for linking family details, where required
How to Update Address Online
- Visit myAadhaar — Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and log in with your Aadhaar number and OTP.
- Select "Update Aadhaar Online" — Choose the address field to update.
- Enter the new address — Type the corrected address exactly as on your proof.
- Upload address proof — Attach a scanned copy of a valid PoA document.
- Submit & note the URN — Pay the nominal fee if applicable and save your Update Request Number to track the status.
Updating at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra
For name, date of birth, gender, mobile, photo or biometric changes, visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra:
- Book an appointment online (recommended) or walk in
- Carry original documents for the change you need
- Provide biometric verification at the centre
- Pay the UIDAI-prescribed fee and collect your acknowledgement slip with the URN
⚠️ Avoid repeated rejections: Your supporting document must exactly match the new detail you're requesting. Mismatched spellings between documents are the top reason updates get rejected.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many times can I change my name or DOB?
UIDAI allows a limited number of name and date-of-birth updates over the lifetime of an Aadhaar. It's best to get it right in one go with correct documents.
Can I track my update?
Yes. Use the Update Request Number (URN) on the myAadhaar portal to check the status of your request.
Do I need to update Aadhaar after marriage?
If your name or address changes after marriage, updating Aadhaar keeps it consistent with your other documents — useful for bank, PAN and passport records.
