Do you need to update/change the address given on your Aadhaar card? The UIDAI or Unique Identification Authority of India has provided several Aadhaar tools on its website - uidai.gov.in - for the public. One of these tools enables users to apply for changes or corrections in select details including address fed into the Aadhaar database. Besides address, the 'Update Aadhaar Details (Online)' tool on the UIDAI portal also enables individuals to request a change in name, date of birth, mobile and email. But how to do it online?
The UIDAI self-service update portal enables users to submit a request to update their Aadhaar profiles in three steps: Login with Aadhaar, Upload Documents and Select BPO Service Provider, according to its website. "Mobile number is mandatory to receive password for login," the UIDAI portal added. This mobile number is the one registered at the time of applying for Aadhaar enrolment.
