Want to update your Aadhaar details but don’t have time to visit a centre?
Whether your old mobile number is inactive or you need to change your name or address, the process can feel confusing and time-consuming.
But now, things are getting easier.
The government has introduced a new solution that allows you to manage Aadhaar updates directly from your smartphone.
Aadhaar Updates Now at Your Fingertips
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched a new Aadhaar mobile app to simplify the update process.
This app is especially helpful for senior citizens, working professionals and people living in remote areas who cannot easily visit an Aadhaar centre.
With the new app, you can:
Update your mobile number
Change your name
Update your address
Share Aadhaar details securely
Use offline Aadhaar verification
One of the biggest advantages is secure offline verification.
Many people still share photocopies of their Aadhaar for hotel check-ins, SIM cards or office verification.
This increases the risk of misuse.
The new app allows you to verify your identity without sharing your Aadhaar number or biometric details.
This makes the process safer and more controlled.
How to Change Your Name Using the Aadhaar App
Updating your name is now simple and can be done in a few steps.
Open the mAadhaar app and log in using your Aadhaar number and OTP.
Select “Update Aadhaar Online” and choose the “Name” option.
Enter your correct name carefully.
Upload the required supporting documents and pay the update fee.
Submit the request and track the status using the “Update Status” feature.
How to Update Your Mobile Number
If your old number is inactive, you can update it directly through the app.
Open the app and go to “Update Aadhaar Online.”
Complete verification using face authentication or OTP.
Enter your new mobile number.
Pay the required processing fee.
Track the update status within the app.
How to Change Your Address
Changing your home address is just as easy.
Log in to the app.
Tap on “Update Address Online.”
Enter your new address exactly as mentioned in your proof document.
Upload the address proof and pay the update fee.
Submit the request after successful payment.
With this new app, Aadhaar updates are becoming faster, safer and more convenient. Instead of standing in long queues, you can now manage your digital identity anytime, anywhere.
