Aadhaar update online: the complete 2026 walkthrough — Bharat AI Sathi

Aadhaar remains the single most-used identity document in India. This guide walks through the online update flow end-to-end.

Before you start Keep a soft copy of a valid proof of identity and proof of address in PDF or JPEG (under 2 MB). The mobile number linked to your Aadhaar must be active — the OTP goes there.

Online update flow 1. Visit the official myAadhaar portal at uidai.gov.in. 2. Log in with your Aadhaar number and OTP. 3. Choose "Update Aadhaar Online" and pick the fields you need to change. 4. Upload the supporting document. File name should be simple — no special characters. 5. Pay the applicable fee (₹50 as of writing) and note the URN.

Common rejection reasons Illegible scans, mismatched name spellings across ID and address proof, and expired documents. Fix these before re-submitting to avoid another fee.

Offline fallback If the online flow rejects your document twice, book a slot at your nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra. Take original documents.
