Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has urged citizens who received their Aadhaar cards at least 10 years ago but have never updated their details, to do the needful.
In a statement, UIDAI -- the government agency that issues Aadhaar numbers -- said the updation of identification and residence can be done online as well as at Aadhaar centres.
UIDAI, however, did not say if this updation is mandatory.

Go to the Aadhaar self-service update portal and click on the 'proceed to update address' option.
Step 2: Log in using the Aadhaar number, registered mobile number, and OTP.

Step 9: Upload the scanned copy of the address proof and click on the 'Submit' button.
