Updating your Aadhaar card comes with specific rules and limitations. Users can update their Aadhaar details a limited number of times in their lifetime. If you frequently update your Aadhaar, it’s essential to know how many times this can be done.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) issues Aadhaar, which is a crucial document used for various services. From purchasing a new SIM card to opening a bank account and applying for government subsidies, Aadhaar plays an important role. It is also required for obtaining a passport. Therefore, it is vital to ensure that the information on your Aadhaar card is accurate. If any details are incorrect, you should get them updated immediately.

Users can update details such as date of birth, mobile number, and address on their Aadhaar card. These updates can be made online via the myAadhaar portal on UIDAI's official website. Currently, users can update their Aadhaar without paying any fees.

How Many Times Can You Update Aadhaar?

While Aadhaar allows users to make multiple updates, there are certain limitations:

• Name Updates: You can update your name on Aadhaar only twice in your lifetime. For additional name changes, you’ll need UIDAI's approval and must provide supporting documents explaining the reason for the change.

• Address Updates: There is no restriction on the number of times you can update your address on Aadhaar. It can be updated as often as needed.

What to Do If Aadhaar Update Is Delayed?

UIDAI typically processes most Aadhaar update requests within 30 days. However, if your request takes longer, up to 90 days, you can contact UIDAI by calling 1947 or reaching out to their support team.

Free Aadhaar Updates Until December 14, 2024

UIDAI has urged all users to update their Aadhaar details, particularly those with cards older than 10 years. If you update your Aadhaar online before December 14, 2024, there will be no charges, as the government is offering free updates until this date.
