How to update Aadhaar Details?
To provide the facility of changing or updating the details of the people, UIDAI has launched Aadhaar Self Service Update Portal to make things more convenient. Using this portal, you can now modify your details like incorrect name, date of birth, gender or changed address online very easily. For this you need to first login using your Aadhaar number and a OTP sent to your mobile. Later on, you can also check the update rquest status.

To change your Aadhaar details follow these following simple steps:
1. Log on to Aadhaar website www.uidai.gov.in
2. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar Number in the field and click on Send OTP. You will then receive a One Time Password (OTP-valid for only 15 minutes) on your registered mobile number. If your mobile number is not registered then you will be asked to input your mobile number on which your OTP will be sent.
3. Enter the OTP received on your mobile and the text visible on the screen and click on Login button. Be quick because your OTP is valid for 15 minutes only. Airtel mobile users may not receive OTP due to some issue and in that case they can follow the offline method for updating their details.
