All that you have to do is go to the official website of UIDAI and follow the instructions to change a wide range of information with a click of a button.

Biometric information like mandatory biometric updates can now be done online, that too free of cost. Whereas, demographic information like name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile number and an e-mail will cost users Rs 50. The same charges will be applied on the updates that do not fall under the mandatory category.

Fill in all required details and click on the ‘Send OTP’ button and check your phone with the registered phone number.

Step 4: After getting OTP on your phone, enter it. Now, click on the ‘demographics data’ option. Here you can update the relevant information accordingly. After completing the required fields, click the ‘Proceed’ button.

Step 5: You will have to upload scanned colour copies of verification documents in order to provide authenticity to your update request.

Note: Several documents can be submitted to verify the information provided, but in case of address change on the card, you will have to provide proof of address (POA).
