Aadhaar Card Update Rules Effective from Nov 1, 2025

The Aadhaar card has become an essential identity document for every Indian citizen, used for government schemes, financial services, and official verifications. To make the process of updating Aadhaar details more convenient and efficient, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced a new rule that comes into effect from November 1, 2025.

Let’s take a closer look at the details of the new Aadhaar update process, revised applicable fees, and steps involved.

What Can You Update Online?

Under these updated guidelines, Aadhaar cardholders can now update most of their details online, including their name, address, and date of birth, without having to visit a physical center. Certain biometric updates, however, will continue to require a visit to an authorized Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

If your name, date of birth, or address is incorrect, or if you need to update your identity proof or biometric information, you can now do it easily online. You simply need to visit the official UIDAI website — uidai.gov.in.

Through this website, you can:

• Update your name, address, or mobile number.
• Make necessary corrections to your date of birth.
• Update your demographic details online through the My Aadhaar portal or the My Aadhaar mobile app.
  

What About Biometric Updates?

If you need to update your biometric details (fingerprints, iris scan, or photograph), you will have to visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra because these updates require proper biometric equipment such as iris cameras and fingerprint scanners.

Updating Documents

In some cases, your uploaded documents may not be proper or might need changes. You can also update these documents online through the official website.
