Updating details on your Aadhaar card is now simpler than ever, thanks to the UIDAI’s official myAadhaar portal. While some updates can be done completely online, others may still require a visit to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra for biometric verification. It’s important to use only the official UIDAI website for all changes to avoid errors or fraud.
How to update name, address, date of birth and mobile number online
1. Visit the myAadhaar portal
Go to the official UIDAI myAadhaar website and log in using your Aadhaar number. Enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number to access your dashboard.
2. Choose the detail you want to update
You can update fields such as name, date of birth and address. Address updates are fully online, while some demographic changes may depend on current UIDAI rules. Enter the correct updated information in English. The portal will auto-translate it to your selected regional language.
3. Upload the required documents
Every change needs a supporting document. For example:
- Name change: PAN card, passport or gazette notification (if major change).
- DOB update: Birth certificate or government-issued proof.
- Address update: Utility bill, rental agreement, passport or bank statement.
Make sure the scanned documents are clear and readable.
4. Submit and track your request
Once you submit, you’ll receive a Service Request Number (SRN). Keep it safe, you can use it to track the status of your update on the portal. Most updates take a few days to process.
Fees, limits and important tips
- Some updates may be limited (for example, date of birth can only be changed once under UIDAI rules).
- If a mobile number update is needed, you may have to visit a physical Aadhaar centre because biometric verification is required.
- Keep your original documents handy in case verification is requested.
Updating your Aadhaar is now faster, smoother and largely digital, making it easier for you to keep your identity records accurate at all times.
