Updating your Aadhaar details might soon become as easy as using your phone.
The Government of India, through the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), is preparing to launch a new mobile app called e-Aadhaar.
This app aims to simplify how citizens update their Aadhaar information—no more long queues or repeated visits to Aadhaar centers.
With just a few taps, users will be able to change personal details such as address, phone number, or date of birth directly from their smartphones.
A Simpler, Fully Digital Process
At present, making any change—like updating your address or correcting your name—requires visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra and submitting physical documents.
The e-Aadhaar app plans to change that completely.
According to reports, users will soon be able to verify and update their details online in a few simple steps.
The app will automatically validate uploaded documents like passports, driving licences, or birth certificates by linking to verified government databases.
This means the process will not only become faster but also more accurate, minimizing human errors and reducing the risk of fraud.
Stronger Security with AI Verification
Security remains a top priority for UIDAI.
The new app will come equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and facial recognition technology to ensure that only the rightful Aadhaar holder can make changes.
Through advanced facial matching systems, the app will verify users securely before allowing any modifications.
While demographic updates—like name, phone number, or address—can be done online, biometric updates such as fingerprints or iris scans will still require a visit to an Aadhaar centre.
This hybrid model strikes the perfect balance between convenience and data security.
Time-Saving and Fraud-Proof
The e-Aadhaar app will save time, reduce travel costs, and eliminate the hassle of paperwork.
Citizens will finally be able to manage their Aadhaar records from home—quickly and securely.
The AI-based system will also help curb identity fraud, which has become a growing concern as India’s digital footprint expands.
In fact, updates that currently take days might soon be completed within just a few hours.
What’s Next?
The e-Aadhaar app is expected to roll out by the end of 2025 for both Android and iOS users.
Once launched, it will work alongside other government platforms like DigiLocker and UMANG, creating a more connected and efficient digital ecosystem.
By combining security, technology, and ease of access, the e-Aadhaar app is set to become a key player in India’s growing digital identity network.
