The Aadhaar Card is no longer just an identity document—it has become the backbone of almost every essential service in India, from banking and government schemes to mobile connections and income tax filings. However, the Aadhaar card is useful only when the details mentioned on it are accurate and up to date. Recognising this need, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made the Aadhaar update process simpler, faster, and more accessible through its latest mobile application.
Earlier, updating details such as name, address, or mobile number required visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra, standing in long queues, and going through strict verification procedures. Now, with the help of the new Aadhaar App, most updates can be completed from home using OTP or face authentication.
Before starting the process, users are advised to download the official Aadhaar App on their smartphones and ensure that their mobile number is linked with Aadhaar for verification.
