Your Aadhaar card is one of the most important identity documents in India, used for everything from opening a bank account to applying for government schemes. Over time, details like your address, mobile number, or even your name may need to be updated. This guide walks you through the complete process.
When Should You Update Your Aadhaar?
You should update your Aadhaar details whenever you change your residential address, get married and change your surname, correct a spelling mistake in your name, or update your registered mobile number for OTP-based services.
Documents Required
- Proof of Identity (Voter ID, PAN Card, Passport, or Driving Licence)
- Proof of Address (utility bill, bank statement, or rent agreement)
- Proof of Date of Birth, if updating DOB
Online vs Offline Update
Address, name, gender, and date of birth can usually be updated online via the UIDAI self-service portal if your mobile number is already linked. Biometric updates (fingerprint, iris, photo) require a visit to an Aadhaar Enrollment Centre or a Common Service Centre like Punjab Saathi.
