The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made it easier for Aadhaar cardholders to update their Aadhaar address online. UIDAI says this will further accelerate the adoption of digital services across the country. However, making other demographic changes, such as name, date of birth, or biometrics (fingerprint, iris scan, face photo), will require a visit to an Aadhaar service center. The online address update facility is completely free until July 14, 2026.
