Aadhaar Card Update / Correction – Update your Aadhaar Data

The Aadhaar card, issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), is one of the most essential identity documents for residents across India. Keeping your Aadhaar details accurate is important to avoid discrepancies and ensure smooth access to services.

Whether you need to update your address, phone number, name, or other details, UIDAI provides both online and offline methods to make corrections easily.

Latest Update

Good News: UIDAI has extended the deadline for free Aadhaar updates on the myAadhaar portal until June 14, 2026. Offline updates at enrolment centers may still carry a ₹50 service charge.

How to Update Aadhaar Details

Online Aadhaar Update (via UIDAI Portal)

1. Go to the official UIDAI website: https://uidai.gov.in
2. Click on “Update Aadhaar” → then select “Document Update”

3. Choose “Click To Submit” and log in using your Aadhaar number and CAPTCHA
4. Select the details you want to update and click “Proceed”

5. Upload the relevant supporting documents
6. Review and verify your changes, then click “Submit”

Important: Once submitted, your update will be processed, and you can later download your updated Aadhaar to confirm the changes.

Note: Resident Foreign Nationals can use the Head of Family (HoF) method to update their address if they share a valid family relationship (e.g., parent, spouse, child, legal guardian). For minors (under 18), HoF must be either a parent or guardian.

Offline Aadhaar Update (via CSC or Enrolment Centre)

If your Aadhaar isn’t linked to a mobile number, you’ll need to update it offline. Here’s how:

1. Visit a nearby CSC center or Aadhaar Enrolment Centre
2. Ask for the Aadhaar Update/Correction Form
3. Fill in the correct details
4. Attach original documents (no photocopies required)
5. Submit the form and documents to the official for verification

You can also download the correction form for children (age 5–18) from UIDAI.

Note: At Aadhaar enrolment centers, you can update demographic data (name, address, DOB, gender, mobile number, email), upload new documents (PoI, PoA), or update biometrics like fingerprints, iris scan, and photo.

Required Documents for Aadhaar Update

To make updates, you’ll need to provide valid documents as proof of identity (PoI) and proof of address (PoA).
