Aadhaar card has become the identity of every Indian citizen today! From government schemes to banking and mobile SIMS, the Aadhaar number has become necessary everywhere. But if the mobile number or address in your Aadhaar is wrong or has changed, then it becomes necessary to update it.
Many people do not know how many times the mobile number and address can be changed in Aadhaar, and what documents are required for this. So, if you also want to make some changes to your Aadhaar, then this news is very important for you. Know the rules of UIDAI and the easy way.
According to the guidelines of UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India), you can update the mobile number in your Aadhaar as many times as you want. No limit has been set for this. For example, if you have taken a new mobile number or the old number has been closed, then you can update the new number in your Aadhaar.
To update the mobile number, you will have to go to the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or CSC. No document is required for this; only your biometric verification is required. There is a fee of ₹50 for updating the mobile number. This is an easy and necessary process.
UIDAI has set some limits in terms of updating the address. You can update the address in your Aadhaar card online a maximum of twice and offline once. However, if you have a valid reason and sufficient documents, this limit can be increased in special circumstances. So, keep these rules in mind while changing the address.
UIDAI has approved 44 types of valid address proof documents for address update. Some of the main documents are as follows:
Passport
Bank statement/passbook
Electricity/water/gas bill (not more than three months old)
A letter issued by the post office
Rent agreement (registered by the government)
If you have any of these documents, then you can easily update your address.
Online update: You can update the address by logging in to the UIDAI website (https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in). For this, your mobile number must be linked to Aadhaar. The online process is quite convenient if your mobile number is registered.
Offline update: Go to the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra and fill the form and submit the documents. The offline method is good for those whose mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar or who face difficulty in the online process.
Go to the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
Fill the Aadhaar update/correction form.
Enter your old mobile number and new number.
Biometric verification (fingerprint/iris) will be done for your identity.
A fee of ₹50 will be charged.
You will get an acknowledgement slip for the update request, which will contain the URN (Update Request Number).
