Updating data on Aadhaar
A registered mobile number is essential to access Aadhaar Online Services. You can verify your mobile number that has been declared at the time of enrolment or during the latest Aadhaar detail update.

Verify Mobile Number
If you have not registered your Mobile number while enrolling for Aadhaar, you are required to visit a Permanent Enrolment Centre to get it registered.

Enabling Aadhaar for various services like Government & Non-Government Services, Subsidy Benefits, Pensions, Scholarships, Social Benefits, Banking services, Insurance services, Taxation services, Education, Employment, Healthcare, etc., makes it essential to ensure that Aadhaar data of the resident stored in the CIDR is accurate and up-to-date.

Demographic data update, the need could arise from:
Changes in life events such as marriage may lead to residents changing their basic demographic details such as name and address. The address and mobile number could also change due to migration to newer locations. Residents may also want changes in their relative’s details due to changes in life events such as marriage, death of a relative, etc. In addition, residents could have other personal reasons to change their mobile number, email address, etc.

Changes in various service delivery platforms may lead residents to declaration request changes and to add a mobile number to CIDR etc.

The need for changes could also arise because of errors made during the enrolment process wherein the resident’s demographic data may have been captured incorrectly; DoB/Age and Gender fields are expected primarily due to enrolment errors.

Biometric update, the need could arise from:
Age <5 years at the time of initial enrolment -The child should be re-enrolled when the child attains an age of 5 years and all biometric data should be provided. A de-duplication would be done for the child at this stage. This request will be treated similarly to a new enrolment request while retaining the original Aadhaar number.

Age between 5 and 15 years at the time of enrolment - The resident should furnish all biometrics for updates when the resident attains the age of 15 years.

Age >15 years at the time of enrolment – Residents are recommended to update their biometric data every 10 years.
Events like accidents or diseases leading to the biometric exception.

As the Aadhaar authentication service is becoming ubiquitous, residents may also approach for biometric updates because of authentication failures (called false rejects – where a correct resident with valid Aadhaar number may be incorrectly rejected) which may result from incorrect biometric capture or poor biometric quality captured at the time of enrolment. With improvements in technology, it may be possible to capture better quality biometrics in the CIDR.

UIDAI may verify the quality of biometric captured during enrolment/ update and decide a threshold. All the residents whose biometrics are below the decided threshold level may be notified by UIDAI to update of biometrics.
