If you’ve ever wondered how many times you can update your Aadhaar address or mobile number, you’re not alone. Surprisingly, a large number of Indians are still unaware of how often they can make these changes — or that right now, they can do so for free. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has rolled out a limited-time offer allowing Aadhaar holders to update their details at no cost — but only until June 14, 2025.

Why Updating Aadhaar Is Crucial

The Aadhaar card has become an essential identity document in India. From enrolling your child in school to opening a bank account or accessing government subsidies, your Aadhaar number is a key to various services. However, if the information on your Aadhaar is outdated or incorrect, it can cause serious problems.

That’s why UIDAI regularly encourages users to keep their Aadhaar details — especially address and mobile number — up to date. Thankfully, the process has now been made easier and temporarily free via the myAadhaar portal.

How Many Times Can You Change Your Aadhaar Mobile Number?

There’s good news — UIDAI allows unlimited updates to the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar. That means if you lose access to your previous number, get a new SIM, or switch service providers, you can register your new mobile number without restrictions.

However, updating your mobile number requires a biometric verification, which must be done in person. You’ll need to visit your nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Common Service Centre (CSC). No physical documents are required, but your fingerprint or iris scan will be used for verification.

Can You Update Your Aadhaar Address Multiple Times?

Yes, you can also update your Aadhaar address multiple times, as there is no limit on the number of changes. Whether you’ve moved to a new city, changed your permanent residence, or are temporarily staying elsewhere, you can update your address accordingly.

However, unlike mobile number updates, changing your Aadhaar address requires valid proof of address (PoA). Accepted documents include:

  • Electricity bill

  • Bank passbook or bank statement

  • Rent agreement

  • Water bill

  • Passport

  • Voter ID card

The best part? You can update your address online from the comfort of your home by logging in to the official UIDAI website or the myAadhaar portal.

June 14: The Last Day to Update Aadhaar for Free

As a relief to millions of Aadhaar holders, UIDAI has extended the free update service on the myAadhaar portal until June 14, 2025. Until then, users can update their address, mobile number, email ID, and other personal details without paying the usual fee.

After this date, standard charges will apply once again — typically ₹50 per update request.

Final Thoughts: Don’t Miss Out

This limited-time offer is a golden opportunity to correct any outdated or incorrect information in your Aadhaar card without spending a single rupee. Whether you’ve changed your mobile number or recently relocated, this is the time to make those updates.

So before June 14, visit the myAadhaar portal, log in with your Aadhaar number and OTP, and ensure your details are accurate. A few minutes today can save you from bigger hassles tomorrow.
