The UIDAI’s new Aadhar rules from today, November 1, 2025, will help Aadhar holders update their information with ease by not having to visit the enrolment centres.
Aadhaar update
Starting November 1, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced several changes to Aadhar, to make Aadhar card update easier and seamless for holders. Under the new Aadhar rules, you will be able to update your name, address, date of birth, mobile number and other demographic changes without having to visit the Aadhar Seva Kendra. The fees to update Aadhar details have also been changed, and the requirement to link Aadhaar with PAN has been reinforced as part of the new rules.
The UIDAI’s new Aadhaar rules from today, November 1, 2025, will help Aadhar holders update their information with ease by not having to visit the enrolment centres.
Update Aadhaar Card details online from November 1
Aadhar Card holders will be able to update any demographic changes such as name, date of birth, mobile number and address entirely online. The Aadhar update can be made through the myAadhar portal, which will verify details through existing databases of the government like PAN or passport. This will reduce the requirement of in-person visits to the Aadhar Seva Kendra. However, biometric changes like fingerprints, iris scans, or photographs will still require you to visit the Aadhar enrolment centre.
New Aadhaar update fees from November 1
The UIDAI has also introduced new fees for Aadhar update from November 1. Under the new fee structure for Aadhar updates, any change in demographic details will require a charge of ₹80. For changing biometric details like fingerprints or iris scan, the Aadhar update fee will be ₹120, and if you change demographic details with biometric ones, the former will be free. Online document updates will remain free until June 14, 2026, but similar charges may apply after the deadline. Apart from this, children between ages 5 and 17 will be eligible for free biometric Aadhar updates.
How to open e-Aadhaar PDF?
To open the PDF, you will require a password. The password will be the first four letters of your name in capital letters and the year of birth. For eg: If your name is Vicky Shukla and your birth year is 1999, then the password will be VICK1999.
PAN linking becomes compulsory from November 1
The UIDAI has also notified that Aadhaar-PAN linking has become compulsory from November 1. Aadhaar card holders must link Aadhaar with their PAN by December 31, 2025. After this, the PAN will be deactivated from January 1, 2026. Moreover new PAN applicants will also need to authenticate their Aadhaar during registration to ensure a faster, paperless, and more transparent identity verification process. Failure to link Aadhaar with PAN may lead to restrictions and fines.
In a major update, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made several significant changes that will make Aadhaar updates faster, easier, and completely digital. Starting November 1, 2025, people will be able to update key information like their name, address, date of birth, or mobile number online, eliminating the need to visit an enrolment centre or stand in long queues.
According to UIDAI, this move is part of an effort to make Aadhaar services more secure, user-friendly, and time efficient. Now, citizens can update their identity details from the comfort of their homes with just a few clicks.
Previously, corrections or updates required an in-person visit to an Aadhar Seva Kendra, but with the new system, the entire process can be completed online.
The information shared by users will be digitally verified, including government documents like PAN cards, passports, driving licenses, or ration cards. This will make the process both faster and more reliable.
