The UIDAI self-service update portal enables users to submit a request to update their Aadhaar profiles in three steps: Login with Aadhaar, Upload Documents and Select BPO Service Provider, according to its website. “Mobile number is mandatory to receive a password for login,” the UIDAI portal added. This mobile number is the one registered at the time of applying for Aadhaar enrolment.

“Ensure that your information is transliterated correctly in the local language. The English spellings in the local language boxes may be modified to get the local language spelling correctly…,” according to the UIDAI self-service update portal.

Check the details thoroughly and proceed.

At this stage, the user is required to submit the valid document supporting the requested correction. Users are required to upload original scan copies of the valid documents. “Upload only the valid documents to avoid update request from rejection,” the UIDAI noted.

Select from the available service providers and proceed.

The system also displays estimated time required to process your request.

At the end of the submission, a URN or Update Request Number is issued to track the status of the application.
