Aadhaar Card Update Online 2026: Name, Address, Mobile, DOB Process

आधार कार्ड अपडेट 2026: नाम, पता, मोबाइल, जन्मतिथि अपडेट की गाइड

Quick facts: Update at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in or any Aadhaar Seva Kendra · demographic update fee ₹50 (online), ₹75 (centre) · biometric + photo + mobile ONLY at centre · UIDAI helpline 1947 · 7-30 days processing.

Your Aadhaar is the single most important document in India in 2026 — it’s linked to your bank, PAN, ration card, SIM, mutual funds, LIC policies, every govt scheme you apply for, and hospital treatment under Ayushman. When something on your Aadhaar is wrong or outdated — a typo in your name, an old address, an inactive mobile — it ripples through every other system. Most updates are now doable online; a few require a visit to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK). This guide covers exactly what goes where.

What You Can Update Online

Demographic updates on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in:

Name (including spelling corrections, marriage-driven changes)
Address
Date of Birth
Gender
Language preference

Fee: ₹50 per online update (payable via net banking / UPI / card)

What Requires a Visit to ASK (Offline Only)

Photograph update
Biometric update (fingerprint / iris)
Mobile number update
Email address update (UIDAI now allows this online too in 2026 — check)
New Aadhaar enrollment for anyone never registered

Fee: ₹75-100 per biometric/photo update (some updates are free when done as part of a broader package)

Documents Accepted (UIDAI’s Approved List)

UIDAI publishes a strict list of accepted documents. Use only these:

Proof of Identity (POI)

PAN card
Passport
Voter ID / EPIC
Driving license
Govt photo ID (state/central employee)
Bank passbook / credit card / cheque (with photo)
Ration card (with photo)

Proof of Address (POA)

Utility bills (electricity, water, gas, landline — any within last 3 months)
Bank statement (within 3 months)
Passport
Voter ID
Rent agreement (registered, within 6 months)
Property tax receipt
Insurance policy (within 1 year, with address)
Govt-issued photo ID card with current address

Proof of Date of Birth (DoB)

Birth certificate
PAN card
Passport
SSC / Class 10 certificate
Govt pensioner’s photo ID card
Matriculation certificate

Important: same document cannot be used as both POI and POA at the same time — UIDAI requires separate documents for each proof type.

Update Online — Step-by-Step

Pre-requisite

Your Aadhaar-linked mobile number must be active and with you for the session. If it’s not, you must first update it at an ASK (mobile update is biometric-only).

The process

Open https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in
Click “Login” → enter your 12-digit Aadhaar + captcha + OTP on your mobile
Go to “Update Your Aadhaar”
Select the data type you want to update: Name, Address, DOB, Gender, Language
Enter the new value (in English + local language if both are displayed)
Upload the supporting document (scan or photo; under 2 MB, PDF/JPG/PNG)
Review the preview of your updated Aadhaar
Pay ₹50 fee via UPI / net banking / card
Submit → note down your URN (Update Request Number) — you’ll need this for status tracking

Processing

Processing time: 7-30 days
SMS update: you’ll receive confirmation when approved or rejected
Download the updated e-Aadhaar from myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in once approved

Address Update — Using Aadhaar-Based Online Verification

If you don’t have a traditional POA document but have an Aadhaar-linked address-verifying relative (parent, spouse, sibling living at the same address), UIDAI allows “Address Validation Letter” approach:

Ask the relative to log in on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in
They request an “Address Validation Letter” on your behalf
A letter with a secret code is posted to the common address
You receive the letter → use the secret code to complete your address update online
Same ₹50 fee applies

This is especially useful for newly-married women, children moving to hostel, and employees who’ve relocated without a new bill in their own name.

Update at Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK)

Find your nearest ASK

Open https://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/aadhaar or uidai.gov.in → “Locate Enrollment Centre”
Filter by your pincode
Book an appointment online (recommended — walk-ins face long queues)

At the centre

Carry original + photocopy of all supporting documents
Biometric verification (fingerprint or iris)
Operator updates your data on the UIDAI system live
For photo update, a fresh photo is taken
Pay fee (₹75-100 depending on update type)
Receive Enrollment Slip with URN

Typical processing at ASK

Demographic updates: same as online (7-30 days)
Photo/biometric updates: 15-45 days
Mobile number updates: immediate in most cases

Check Update Status

Open https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → “Check Aadhaar Update Status”
Enter your URN or Aadhaar number
See current stage: – Received → Under Review → Approved (download) or Rejected (with reason)
Alternative: SMS UID STATUS to 1947

Download Updated e-Aadhaar

Once approved:

Open https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in
“Download Aadhaar” → enter Aadhaar + captcha + OTP
Download the password-protected PDF
Password: first 4 letters of your name (CAPS) + year of birth (e.g., RAHU1985)
Print on any A4 paper — no laminated card needed. UIDAI has removed the “laminated card” requirement. The black-and-white printout is fully valid.

Aadhaar for Children and Babies

Blue Aadhaar for children under 5 years — no biometric; uses parent’s biometric as verifier
Must be updated with the child’s own biometric when they turn 5 and again at 15 — both free updates
Parents must carry original birth certificate + their own Aadhaar for enrollment

Free vs Paid Updates (UIDAI 2026 policy)

Free mandatory updates are available periodically announced by UIDAI (the “free update deadline” was extended to Dec 2025 for demographic updates; check UIDAI.gov.in for latest)
Paid updates: ₹50 online, ₹75-100 offline (for updates outside the free window)

FAQ — Common Questions

Can I change my entire name on Aadhaar? Yes — for name change (e.g., after marriage), upload your marriage certificate or a gazette notification as proof. Minor typo corrections only need Aadhaar-verified OTP.

My mobile number is lost — how do I update Aadhaar now? Visit an ASK in person with your Aadhaar and identity proof. Mobile update is biometric-only; you cannot do it online without an active linked mobile.

Can I update my DOB if I don’t have a birth certificate? Yes — passport, Class 10 certificate, PAN card, or state government pensioner’s ID can substitute. The accepted-document list on UIDAI’s site has the full catalog.

How long does address update take? Usually 7-15 days for online updates, up to 30 days if flagged for manual review.

Is Aadhaar update free for seniors or PwD? UIDAI occasionally runs special free-update windows for specific demographics. Check uidai.gov.in for the latest notification. Outside those windows, standard fees apply.

I changed my address online but my bank still shows the old one. How do I update the bank too? Aadhaar update doesn’t auto-propagate to your bank/PAN/ration card. You must initiate an update at each institution separately, using your newly-updated Aadhaar as proof. Banks accept the printed new e-Aadhaar.

My Aadhaar update was rejected — how do I appeal? UIDAI’s rejection letter states the reason (e.g., document not clear, name mismatch). Fix the issue and submit a fresh update request. No separate appeal process — just re-submit with corrected documents.
