Yet, certain limits are prescribed to update the details. Date of birth and gender can be updated only once. Name can be updated two times.

If the age-gap limit is below or above three years, then it can be updated without any document. But, if the age-gap is more than that, people will have to visit the Regional Office of UIDAI in their areas.

Currently, except for the address, all other updates can be made only at Aadhaar Centres.

The address can be changed online also. However, the mobile number is mandatory to get the OTP to update the address on the Aadhaar card.
