I’ll be honest. This was a task that I dreaded even before I actually got around to doing it.

You know the drill. Government documentation is all about knowing ‘what’ to do in a world where people suggest getting an ‘agent’ for everything. But things weren’t oh-so-bad. In fact, the process was quite simple and I did it all over again for my wife as well. Here’s what we did:

Step 1: Log onto https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ with your personal credentials

Step 2: Go to ‘Update Aadhaar Online’

Step 3: Then there are clear steps to follow. Take a look:

Step 4: You can then proceed to update your Name, Date of Birth, Gender or Address. They also mention the number of turns you have left. After which you may make the changes you need.

Step 5: Status Check. Now every time you log-in, there should be a Requests section that holds the latest update about your changes. It should say ‘Completed’

Printing a PVC Card version of your new Aadhaar is also possible similarly. Takes a fee of INR 50/-

That’s it!
