New Delhi Good news for Aadhaar card holders! The Unique Identification Authority of india (UIDAI) has announced that starting November 2025, people will be able to update key Aadhaar details online from home, eliminating the need to visit Aadhaar Seva Kendras for most corrections.
This move is expected to benefit millions of citizens by saving time and reducing paperwork hassles.

The new system will use AI-powered verification to cross-check submitted documents against government databases, making the process faster and reducing the risk of fraud.
3. No More Long Queues
Currently, most Aadhaar card updates require visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra and waiting in line. With the new service, citizens can complete changes in just a few minutes from their smartphone or computer.
4. OTP-Based Security
· mobile number updates will require OTP verification.
· Name and address changes will need document upload (like PAN card, voter ID, utility bill, or rent agreement).
5. Cost of Service
UIDAI is expected to keep the service either free or nominally priced, ensuring affordability for all sections of society.
6. Who Cannot Use This Online Feature?
Major demographic updates like date of birth changes beyond the allowed limit, gender updates, or biometric changes (fingerprint/iris/photo) will still require physical visits for security reasons.
7. Why This Matters
With Aadhaar linked to bank accounts, SIM cards, PAN, and government subsidies, keeping details updated is crucial. This new step will help prevent service disruptions, subsidy delays, and identity mismatches.
8. Rollout Timeline
The feature will officially go live in november 2025, with uidai planning awareness campaigns to guide citizens through the process.
Bottom Line
From november, updating Aadhaar details will be as easy as logging into a portal or app. By embracing digital-first governance, uidai is making Aadhaar more citizen-friendly, secure, and accessible.
