How to Update / Correct Aadhaar Card data?

Aadhaar card number was launched in 2009. It is a 12 digit number, generated after a person registers him/herself giving biometric information to UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India).

After receiving aadhaar card number, you may find that some of your details are missing or misspelled. In some cases, you may want to update more information with your aadhaar card. Then what to do? You should not worry at all. You can update and/or correct your details.  There are two modes for that.

1.      offline mode (only aadhaar card required) and,

2.     online mode (aadhaar card as well as registered mobile number is required)

     

      1.      Offline Mode:

For offline update, the person have to fill in the form made for aadhaar card data update with appropriate documents and post to the aadhaar card data centre. To download aadhaar card update/correction form click here.

In this form you have to fill in mandatory fields and the fields of information which require update/correction. After filling them you have to join self-attested photocopies of aadhaar card and other documents which require update/correction and sent them to either of the addresses given below:

Address 1:

UIDAI, Post Box No. 10, Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh - 480001, India

Address 2:

UIDAI, Post Box No. 99, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad - 500034, India

      

      2.      Online Method:

To update or correct aadhaar card details online, you have to go to Aadhaar self service update portal. There, you have to enter your 12 digit aadhaar card number and captcha code and click on “Sent OTP” button.

A six digit OTP PIN number valid only for 15 minute will be sent to your registered mobile number. You have to enter it into the form.

In the next step, you will be asked to select the field(s) to update. There, you have to select/mark the information field you want to update.

Then, a confirmation window will come up. You have to select / mark “I confirm that….” and click on the “Modify” button.

You may be asked to upload appropriate self attested document’s image for confirmation. After that a URN (Update Request Number) will be generated. This number you should note down. You can use that number for further query and update status check. After one week you can expect the correction or update.

P.S. You must need offline mode, if you want to register your mobile number. If you have mentioned your mobile number earlier then it is ok. Otherwise you must use offline mode. If you provide wrong number or it is mistyped by the aadhaar card operator, then you must use offline mode.
