For whom: Anyone in Telangana who has an Aadhaar and needs to change or correct a detail in it, or to refresh its documents or biometrics.

1Your situation

We show only what your answers need.

What do you need to change in your Aadhaar?
Can you receive an OTP on the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar?
Can you change it in UIDAI's "Aadhaar" app? (Of the two, the app changes only the mobile number; it needs a smartphone and the old number still working)
Have you changed this detail before? A name can be changed twice in a lifetime, and the date of birth and gender once.

Your answers stay on this phone.

    1. Do this now

      Log in to the myAadhaar portal with your Aadhaar number and the OTP sent to your linked mobile.

      Choose "Address Update" and type the new address in English (it is turned into Telugu for you; you can correct it). Upload a clear colour scan (PDF or JPEG) of the original proof of address and pay online. The address you type must match the document. You can also do this in UIDAI's "Aadhaar" app (face authentication, ₹75). If you use a family member's Aadhaar, that person must approve the request in their own app.

No new Aadhaar letter is sent for this change, only an SMS or e-mail. Keep the receipt: it shows the update request number (URN) or enrolment number (EID) and the charge paid.

      Show the original proof of identity for a new name, or proof of date of birth for the date of birth; the first change of gender needs no document. Small corrections and full changes to a name are both done only at a centre, not online. If your address is changing too, for example after marriage, have both changed at the same visit: details changed together cost one ₹75. A government marriage certificate is a proof of identity, and also a proof of address if it carries your name and the new address. You confirm with your fingerprint. Keep the receipt: it shows the update request number (URN) or enrolment number (EID) and the charge paid. Take back your original documents.

      It will be rejected because the limit is crossed; keep that enrolment slip (EID slip).
