Have you recently moved to a new house, changed your mobile number, or noticed a spelling mistake on your Aadhaar card? Keeping your Aadhaar details correct is important, especially when using it for banking, government schemes, KYC verification and other services.
Fortunately, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) provides online services to update certain Aadhaar details without visiting an office.
However, not every Aadhaar detail can be changed through the website. Some updates require the official Aadhaar app or a visit to an authorised Aadhaar centre.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to update your Aadhaar card online, what documents you need, the applicable charges and how to check your update status.
Which Aadhaar Details Can You Update Online?
Before starting, understand which service you actually need.
| Aadhaar Detail | Available Update Method |
|---|---|
| Residential address | Online through myAadhaar or Aadhaar app |
| Identity and address documents | Online through myAadhaar |
| Mobile number | Aadhaar app, if eligible, or Aadhaar centre |
| Name and date of birth | Aadhaar centre |
| Photograph and fingerprints | Aadhaar centre |
The new official Aadhaar app supports mobile number updates for eligible users. However, if your previous registered mobile number is inaccessible or you never registered one, you must visit an authorised centre.
How to Update Aadhaar Address Online: Step-by-Step
If your address has changed, you can submit an update request using the official myAadhaar portal.
Follow these simple steps:
- Visit the official website: https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/
- Click Login and enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number.
- Enter the OTP received on your Aadhaar-registered mobile number.
- Select the Address Update service.
- Enter your new residential address carefully.
- Upload a valid Proof of Address document.
- Review the details and complete the applicable payment.
- Submit the request and save your Service Request Number (SRN).
The SRN helps you track your application.
Important tip: Enter your address exactly as supported by your document. Differences in the house number, locality or other details may result in rejection.
The address update fee is currently ₹75.
How to Update Aadhaar Documents for Free
Many people confuse Aadhaar Document Update with Aadhaar Address Update. These are different services.
Document Update allows you to submit updated Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA) documents to support the details already recorded in Aadhaar.
UIDAI currently offers this service free through the myAadhaar portal until June 14, 2027.
To use it:
- Log in to myAadhaar.
- Select Document Update.
- Review your existing Aadhaar details.
- Upload the required identity and address documents.
- Submit your request.
Remember, this free facility does not mean that changing your residential address is free. Address correction and document submission have separate procedures.
How to Update Your Aadhaar Mobile Number
Your registered mobile number is important because UIDAI sends OTPs for many online Aadhaar services.
You can update an existing mobile number through the official Aadhaar app if you meet UIDAI’s verification requirements.
Download the official app using the links provided on UIDAI’s website.
Open the app, complete registration and face authentication, and select the mobile number update service. Follow the OTP verification steps and pay the prescribed fee.
If you no longer have access to your old registered mobile number, visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra instead.
You can locate an authorised centre through the Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal.
How Much Does Aadhaar Update Cost in 2026?
UIDAI has prescribed the following charges for common services:
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Online document update | Free until June 14, 2027 |
| Address update | ₹75 |
| Demographic update at centre | ₹75 |
| Document update at centre | ₹75 |
| Regular biometric update | ₹125 |
Certain age-based biometric updates are free under UIDAI rules. Check the latest charges before making a payment.
How to Check Aadhaar Update Status
Submitting an Aadhaar update request does not guarantee immediate approval.
To check your request:
- Open https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/.
- Find the Check Aadhaar Update Status service.
- Enter the requested SRN, URN or acknowledgement details.
- Complete verification and view your application status.
For mobile number and address updates through the Aadhaar app, UIDAI specifies a processing period of up to 30 days.
If your request is rejected, review the reason before applying again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I update Aadhaar without a registered mobile number?
You generally need a registered mobile number to use the myAadhaar login services. If your number is missing or inaccessible, visit an authorised Aadhaar centre to register or update it.
Can I change my Aadhaar photo online?
No. Updating your Aadhaar photograph requires visiting an authorised centre for biometric capture.
Is Aadhaar document update mandatory every 10 years?
UIDAI advises Aadhaar holders to update their supporting documents at least once every 10 years. This recommendation should not be confused with a universal requirement to obtain a new Aadhaar card.
Will my Aadhaar number change after an update?
No. Your 12-digit Aadhaar number remains the same after updating your personal information.
Final Words
Updating your Aadhaar is easier when you know which service to choose. Address changes and document updates are available online, while other corrections may require the Aadhaar app or an authorised centre.
Before submitting any request, check your details carefully and upload only valid documents.
Always use the official UIDAI website and never share your Aadhaar OTP with strangers or unauthorised agents.
