Online and offline

Most Aadhaar corrections can be made online at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in, and the document update is currently free. UIDAI extended the fee relaxation for document update through the myAadhaar portal up to 14 June 2027 by an office memorandum dated 13 May 2026. What you cannot do online is change your biometrics or your registered mobile number, both of which need a visit to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

What you need before you start

The single most important thing is a working mobile number registered with your Aadhaar, because the entire online flow runs on OTP. If you no longer have that number, you will have to visit a centre before anything else. Then keep a valid proof of identity and a valid proof of address from the UIDAI accepted list, scanned or photographed clearly. If you are correcting a date of birth, keep a birth certificate or passport. If you are changing a name after marriage or by deed, keep the marriage certificate or gazette notification.

Step by step

Decide whether your change is a demographic or document update, which can be done online, or a biometric or mobile number change, which cannot.
Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and log in with your Aadhaar number and the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
For a document update, open the Document Update service and confirm the name and address on record.
Upload a proof of identity and a proof of address from the accepted list.
Submit. No fee is charged for the online document update until 14 June 2027.
For a name, address, date of birth or gender change, use the matching update service, attach the proof and pay the fee where one applies.
Save the Update Request Number shown on the acknowledgement.
Track the request on myAadhaar with the URN and download the updated e-Aadhaar when approved.

Fees and timelines

Online document update on myAadhaar is free until 14 June 2027. The same service at a physical Aadhaar centre carries a fee of Rs 50. Demographic changes such as name, date of birth and address continue to be charged at the standard rates, whether done online or at a centre. Once submitted, the request is verified by UIDAI before the change appears, and you follow it with the URN.

What to do if it goes wrong

If your update is rejected, the usual reason is that the uploaded document does not clearly show the same name or address you typed in, or that the scan is unreadable. Re-upload a cleaner copy of a document from the UIDAI accepted list, with the name spelled exactly as you want it recorded.

If you cannot log in because the registered mobile number is no longer with you, no amount of online effort will help. Book a visit to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra, carry your original documents, and get the mobile number changed in person first. If a private shop offers to do an Aadhaar update for a large fee, be careful, since the official charges are small and are fixed by UIDAI. Use the UIDAI helpline and the grievance channel on the official site rather than intermediaries, and never share your Aadhaar OTP with anyone.
