Aadhaar Updation Process to Update Name, Address and Date of Birth

Earlier, it used to be a tedious procedure to update the demographic details such as name, address, date of birth, gender, etc. on your Aadhaar, as you were required to visit an Aadhaar Enrolment Center in order to update the Aadhaar details of you or your family member on aadhaar card.

Now, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made Aadhaar Updation Process more easy, wherein you can update the demographic details such as name, address, date of birth, gender, etc. online. Hence, if any of your demographic details viz., Name, Address, Date-of-Birth, Gender, Mobile Number, Email ID, etc. is not correct or up-to-date on your Aadhaar Card, you can get the same updated online sitting at home.

It is to be remembered that aadhaar registered mobile number is mandatory for any online Aadhaar update request because you will receive an OTP (One Time Password) for authentication of your request for aadhaar details updation on your registered mobile number only, which you need to enter at the time of making such request.

If your mobile number it not registered in the UIDAI's records, then you need to visit the Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Aadhaar Enrolment Centre to get it registered before placing aadhaar update request through an online mode.
