FAQ
General
Which Aadhaar updates can I do online?
You can update your address online at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in (INR 50 incl. GST per UIDAI). Document updates (proof-of-identity / proof-of-address refresh) are also available online and are currently waived through 14 June 2026. For name, date of birth, gender, mobile number, and email changes, you must visit an Aadhaar enrolment centre in person โ mobile number cannot be updated online because OTP is sent to the existing registered number. Biometric updates (fingerprints, iris, photograph) also require an in-person visit.
My mobile number linked to Aadhaar is no longer active. How do I update it?
Mobile number updates can only be done in person at an Aadhaar enrollment center or Aadhaar Seva Kendra. Bring your Aadhaar card and one identity proof. Your biometrics (fingerprint or iris) will be used to verify your identity since OTP verification isn't possible without the old number. The process takes about 15-20 minutes.
How long does an Aadhaar update take to reflect?
Per UIDAI: 90% of update requests are completed within 30 days, with the full processing window extending up to 90 days. The same window applies to both online and in-person submissions. You will receive an SMS confirmation once the update is processed. Check the status on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in using your Update Request Number (URN). Download a fresh eAadhaar after the update is complete.
After This Process
- โ Update linked services โ bank, mobile provider, PAN card
- โ Download eAadhaar โ keep a digital copy via mAadhaar or DigiLocker
- โ PAN-Aadhaar link โ ensure PAN is linked to Aadhaar (mandatory for taxes)
