You can update your demographic information on your Aadhaar card, such as your name, date of birth, gender, address, and language, via the Self Service Update Portal (SSUP). The SSUP is an online platform for Aadhaar card users that allows them to fix or change their addresses without having to go to the office. According to the information provided by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Aadhaar cardholders will now be able to update more than one detail at once.
UIDAI wrote on Twitter, “Update your demographic details online through SSUP” and further shared the link of the portal too. It is also important to note that though more than one detail can be updated at once, a charge of Rs 50 needs to be paid per request.”
Because UIDAI allows you to modify your demographic information, this does not mean you can change them at your leisure. Once in a lifetime, an Aadhaar holder can update his or her date of birth (DoB) (change in date of birth is only updated only for unverified DoB). When it comes to gender, alterations can be done once in a lifetime, whereas name changes can be made twice.
Document required:
Name: Scanned copy of Poof of Identity (POI)
Date of Birth: Scanned copy of Date of Birth
Gender: An OTP authentication via mobile/Face Auth
Address: A scanned copy of Poof of Address (POA) is needed. However, resident can update address even if they don’t have a POA document.
Language: No verification document is required.
A registered mobile phone is required for online Aadhaar update requests, in addition to the aforementioned documents, because the registered number will receive an OTP for Aadhaar Authentication, which will be the final confirmation for launching the update.
