Aadhaar Card Update
Aadhaar update process allows residents to correct or change their personal details in their Aadhaar record whenever the information becomes incorrect or outdated. Whether it is an address change, mobile number update, name correction, or date of birth modification, UIDAI provides both online and offline options to ensure Aadhaar details remain accurate and up to date for all official and financial uses.
Online Update
Online updates are limited to the myAadhaar portal and require a registered mobile number for OTP verification. No biometric authentication is needed, making it suitable for remote access. You cannot update biometrics, name, date of birth (if already updated once or without specific conditions), gender, or other demographics beyond address. If your mobile number isn’t registered, you must first add it offline at an enrolment centre.

- Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and captcha code, then click “Send OTP“.
- Enter the OTP received on registered mobile number and complete authentication.

Update Mobile Number in Aadhaar
Aadhaar card mobile number update is an important process because all Aadhaar services such as OTP verification, Aadhaar download, and status checking depend on your registered mobile number. Unlike address updates, mobile number change cannot be done online and must be completed only through an Aadhaar Enrolment or Update Centre.
You can update your Aadhaar mobile number at:

- Aadhaar centres located in banks, post offices, or government offices
These centres are available in most cities and towns across India.
- Visit your nearest Aadhaar Enrolment or Update Centre.
- Ask for the Aadhaar Update Form.

- Submit the form to the operator.
- Your biometric or OTP verification will be done.

- You will receive an Update Request Number (URN) as proof.
The mobile number is usually updated within 7 to 10 working days, though in some cases it may take up to 30 days.
