Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identification number issued by the Indian government to its citizens. It is the largest biometric identification system in the world, with over 1.3 billion registered individuals. The Aadhaar card contains basic demographic and biometric information about an individual, such as name, age, address, gender, mobile number, and fingerprints.
It is important to keep your Aadhaar details updated, as any outdated information can lead to complications when availing of government services or benefits. Here are some details on how to update your Aadhaar information:
Updating Personal Information: If you need to update personal information such as name, date of birth, gender, address, mobile number, email ID, and photograph, you can do so by visiting the official UIDAI website or visiting an Aadhaar enrollment centre. To update your details online, you need to have a registered mobile number linked to your Aadhaar card. Once you submit your update request, you will receive an OTP (one-time password) on your registered mobile number for verification. After verification, your updated details will be processed and reflected on your Aadhaar card.
Updating Biometric Information: If there is any change in your biometric information such as fingerprints or iris scans, you can visit an Aadhaar enrolment centre to update it. The biometric update process involves verifying your biometric data and updating it in the Aadhaar database.
Documents Required: To update your Aadhaar details, you need to provide supporting documents as proof of your updated information. For example, if you want to update your address, you can submit documents such as a utility bill, bank statement, or rental agreement. Similarly, for updating your name or date of birth, you can submit documents such as a PAN card, passport, or birth certificate. Ensure that you have original copies of the supporting documents, as they will be verified and returned to you.
Fees: There is no fee for updating your Aadhaar information if you visit an Aadhaar enrollment centre. However, if you update your details online, you need to pay a nominal fee of Rs. 50. You can make the payment through credit/debit card, net banking, or UPI.
Checking the Status of your Update Request: Once you have submitted your Aadhaar update request, you can check the status of your request on the UIDAI website. You need to enter your Aadhaar number and URN (Update Request Number) to check the status of your request.
Update Timelines: The UIDAI aims to process all update requests within 90 days from the date of submission. However, in some cases, it may take longer to process the request due to verification or other issues. You can track the status of your update request online and follow up with the UIDAI if there is any delay in processing your request.
In conclusion, updating your Aadhaar details is a simple and straightforward process that can be done online or by visiting an Aadhaar enrolment centre. Ensure that you have all the necessary supporting documents and pay the nominal fee (if applicable) to avoid any delays in the update process. Keeping your Aadhaar details up-to-date will help you avoid any complications when availing of government services or benefits that require Aadhaar verification.
