Unlocking the Process: A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Update Your Mobile Number in Aadhaar Card
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) recently issued a notification detailing the revised rules for Aadhaar re-enrolment and updates. New forms have been introduced for both residents and non-residents (NRIs) who wish to register or update their Aadhaar details.
Note. Aadhaar holders can now update their documents or information within ten years from the date of Aadhaar. generation This can be done conveniently through the UIDAI website or mobile application or by submitting the form at the Enrollment Centre.
Unlike the 2016 rules, these changes, which came into force on 16.01.2023, facilitate online renewal and provide easier and more comprehensive access to Aadhaar enrollment and updates.
You can submit your Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) documents for free until 14 March 2024 on the UIDAI website.
