Overview

UIDAI offers online address-update services for eligible Aadhaar holders with a registered mobile number. Other demographic and biometric changes may require an Aadhaar enrolment/update centre. Available digital services can change, so use UIDAI’s current service list.

Who can apply?

An Aadhaar number holder can request a supported update. The evidence and permitted update route depend on the field being changed.

Your preparation checklist

Required Documents
