Changing Aadhar details made easy; Here’s a step-by-step guide on changing Aadhar details online

One can easily update their official details on their Aadhar card online. It can be done through the Unique Identification Authority of India’s (UIDAI) official website (https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/) and the mAadhaar app, or by simply visiting a Permanent Enrolment Centre (PEC) and submitting an Aadhaar Update Form (AUF). It is important to note that UIDAI has recently extended the date for free Aadhaar card update of documents by 3 months, from December 14, 2023, to March 14, 2023.

Here's a step-by-step guide to update your Aadhar card details. For example, changing your address:

• Step 7 – Click “Process To Update Aadhaar”. A new page will appear where one can select the given Aadhaar data fields to update. Since the aim is to update the address, click on the same option.
• Step 8 – Find the current address and enter a new address in the "Details to be Updated" section below.
• Step 9 – Post carefully entering the new address details, upload the necessary Aadhaar card address change documents.
