How To Update Aadhaar Card? Documents Required, Process And Other Details

Aadhaar was launched as an identification process and document by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) in September 2010. It went on to become one of the most important identification documents in India. Now, multiple services such as banking have been linked with Aadhaar to verify details and provide services to the consumers with ease.

Recently, the UIDAI has also issued multiple circulars clarifying that Aadhaar can not be used as a birth proof or citizenship proof and can only be used as an identification document. The particular information given by you in your Aadhaar card must be accurate and updated. In case you wish to change or update Aadhaar card online or Aadhaar address change online and are wondering how to do it, read this article to find the details.
