How to Check Aadhaar Update Status After Update Request Submitted

Aadhaar is a vital document that can be updated to reflect changes in personal details, and verifying the update status ensures your records are current. Issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Aadhaar is a unique 12-digit identification code provided to every legal resident of India.

Enrolment for Aadhaar is free and available to all, from newborns to senior citizens. It's essential to keep your Aadhaar card updated, especially with changes to your address, mobile number, or other key information for verification purposes.

Your Aadhaar details can be updated in two main categories: demographic and biometric. Demographic information includes your name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile number, and email, while biometric details refer to fingerprints, iris scans, and photographs.

To update information like address, name, date of birth, and gender, you have the option to do so online or in person at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra. However, any other changes, such as biometric updates, must be done in person at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

Once you've submitted an update request, you can easily check whether the changes have been processed. This can be done either online or by calling the UIDAI toll-free number.
