Aadhaar Update Rules Simplified from November 1, 2025
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced new rules effective from November 1, 2025, to simplify the Aadhaar update process. Many demographic updates such as name, address, date of birth, and mobile number can now be initiated online via the myAadhaar portal, reducing the need for physical visits to Aadhaar Seva Kendras. However, biometric updates will still require in-person attendance.
Online Aadhaar Update for Demographic Changes
Under the new system, individuals can update demographic details online through the myAadhaar portal, provided their mobile number is active and linked to Aadhaar. The online process integrates document uploads and database verification, minimising manual checks and delays. These reforms are designed to make updates faster, more accessible, and paperless.
In-person Biometric Updates Still Required
While demographic details can be handled digitally, biometric updates — such as fingerprints, iris scans, or photographs — will still require visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra. This ensures data security and accuracy for physical identifiers. The UIDAI has stated that centres will continue to operate nationwide to support individuals needing biometric changes.
Revised Aadhaar Fee Structure
The UIDAI has also revised its fee structure for demographic, biometric, and document updates, introducing several free update windows for specific age groups.
| Type of Update | Description | Conditions / Age Group | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biometric Update | Fingerprint, iris, and photo | (i) Age 5–7 years – First time(ii) Age 15–17 years – First/second time | Free |
| (iii) All other ages | Rs 125* | ||
| Demographic Update | Name, gender, DOB, address, mobile, or email | If done with biometric update | Free |
| If done separately | Rs 75 | ||
| Document Update | Proof of identity or address | Via myAadhaar portal (till 14.06.2026) | Free |
| At Aadhaar Seva Kendra | Rs 75 | ||
| Free biometric updates apply only within the age windows defined by UIDAI. |

PAN Linkage and Next Steps for Aadhaar Holders

Cardholders are advised to verify their linked mobile number, check address details, and retain their Update Request Number (URN) for tracking future updates through the myAadhaar portal.
