Aadhaar Correction Guidance
Guidance on correcting errors in Aadhaar records through the official UIDAI process — name, date of birth, address, gender and other demographic details.
About This Guidance
Aadhaar is a critical identity document linked to government benefits, scholarships, bank accounts and welfare schemes. Errors in Aadhaar records — including name, date of birth, address or gender — can prevent families from accessing entitlements. Cute Stars Foundation provides awareness and guidance to help families understand the correct UIDAI process for updating or correcting Aadhaar details.
We do not process Aadhaar corrections on behalf of families. All Aadhaar updates must be done through official UIDAI channels — online via myAadhaar portal or in person at an Aadhaar Enrolment or Update Centre.
Common Aadhaar Corrections
Incorrect spelling of name in Aadhaar
Wrong date of birth recorded
Incorrect or outdated address
Wrong gender recorded
Mobile number not linked or incorrect mobile number
Email address not linked or incorrect
How to Update Aadhaar Details
UIDAI processes and fees are subject to change. Always verify the current procedure on the official myAadhaar portal or at your nearest Aadhaar centre.
Online Update via myAadhaar Portal
Visit myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and log in with your Aadhaar number and registered mobile OTP. Select 'Update Aadhaar Online' to update address, name, date of birth or gender. Upload supporting documents as required.
Visit an Aadhaar Enrolment or Update Centre
For corrections that cannot be done online, or if your mobile number is not registered, visit the nearest Aadhaar Enrolment or Update Centre. Carry original supporting documents.
Supporting Documents
Accepted documents include birth certificate, school leaving certificate, PAN card, passport, voter ID, driving licence, or a government-issued document showing the correct information. UIDAI publishes the full list of accepted documents on its website.
Biometric Update (if required)
Children who enrolled before age 5 must update their biometrics (fingerprints and iris) after turning 5 and again after turning 15. This must be done at an Aadhaar centre.
Track Your Update Request
After submitting an update request, you will receive a Service Request Number (SRN). Use this to track the status of your update on the UIDAI portal.
