Aadhaar has grown to be a crucial identity document in the modern era. Without it, it is difficult to complete any financial tasks. Aadhaar is necessary for everything, from opening a bank account to participating in any government programme. Each person in the nation only receives an Aadhaar card once in their lifetime. Citizens are given Aadhaar numbers by UIDAI.

Sometimes, inaccurate information about us is printed. Being printed ensures that only inaccurate data will be kept in the Aadhaar database. In this case, UIDAI offers the option to update or improve it. It's simple to update your Aadhaar with your current name and address.

There is a time limit for Aadhaar card holders to change their addresses, according to UIDAI. Aadhaar card holders are only permitted to change their names in their Aadhaar records twice throughout their lifetime, per UIDAI. Additionally, Aadhaar only allows you to modify your birthdate once.
