Aadhaar card India identity document

Your Aadhaar card is India's universal identity document used for everything — bank accounts, SIM cards, government schemes, PAN linking, ITR filing, passport applications, and more. If any detail on your Aadhaar is incorrect — wrong spelling, old address, missing mobile number — it can block you from accessing critical services.

This guide tells you exactly how to update every detail on your Aadhaar card online and offline in 2026.

📌 Key Fact: Over 135 crore Aadhaar numbers have been issued in India. UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) manages all updates. You can update your Aadhaar online through the myAadhaar portal (myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in) using your registered mobile OTP.

How to Update Mobile Number on Aadhaar

Mobile number update is only done offline (in person at an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre) because a new mobile OTP cannot be sent to the old/lost number for verification:

  1. Find your nearest Aadhaar centre at appointments.uidai.gov.in
  2. Book an appointment online or walk in
  3. Carry original Aadhaar card
  4. Fill the Aadhaar Update Form at the counter

  6. Pay ₹50 at the counter
  7. Mobile number updated within 5–7 working days

How to Update Name on Aadhaar

Note: UIDAI allows name change on Aadhaar only twice in a lifetime. Choose carefully.

  1. Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → Login → Update Demographic Data → Name
  2. Enter your correct name exactly as it appears on your supporting document
  3. Upload proof: Passport / Birth certificate / Marriage certificate / School leaving certificate
  4. Pay ₹50 → Submit → Note URN

Check Aadhaar Update Status

  • Online: myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → "Check Aadhaar Update Status" → Enter URN + Aadhaar
  • SMS: Send UID STATUS <14-digit URN> to 51969
  • UIDAI Helpline: Call 1947 (free, 7 AM – 11 PM)

Download Updated Aadhaar (e-Aadhaar)

After your update is approved, download your new Aadhaar:

  1. Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → "Download Aadhaar"
  2. Enter Aadhaar number + OTP → Download PDF
  3. PDF is password-protected — password is first 4 letters of your name (CAPS) + birth year (e.g., KRIS1990)
  4. e-Aadhaar is legally valid everywhere — you don't need the physical card
🔒 Aadhaar Safety Tip: Always use a "Masked Aadhaar" (first 8 digits hidden) when sharing with private parties like hotels or shops. Download from myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → "Download Masked Aadhaar." Your full Aadhaar number should only be shared with government agencies and banks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I update Aadhaar without a registered mobile number? ▾
Online updates require OTP to your registered mobile. If your mobile is not registered or the number has changed, you must visit an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre in person for biometric verification. Carry your original Aadhaar card. The centre will update your mobile number on the spot after fingerprint/iris scan.
How many times can I update my Aadhaar details? ▾
Different fields have different limits: Name — maximum 2 times. Gender — maximum 2 times. Date of Birth — maximum 1 time (with valid proof). Address — unlimited updates. Mobile — unlimited updates. Email — unlimited updates. Ensure your supporting documents exactly match the details you want on Aadhaar before submitting.
Is it safe to share Aadhaar card copy with private companies? ▾
You should share Aadhaar cautiously. Always use a Masked Aadhaar (first 8 digits hidden) with private parties. Do not share your full 12-digit Aadhaar with shops, hotels, or private businesses. Write "FOR [COMPANY NAME] USE ONLY" and the date on any photocopy. Private entities cannot legally misuse Aadhaar data — UIDAI has strict penalties — but prevention is better.
How long does Aadhaar address update take? ▾
Online address updates through myAadhaar portal are typically processed within 7–10 working days. You receive an SMS on your registered mobile when the update is complete. You can also track using the URN (Update Request Number) on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. After approval, download the updated e-Aadhaar immediately from the same portal.
