Aadhaar Card details can now be updated via self service portal.
Aadhaar card holders can now update their demographic information including name, date of birth, gender, address and language on their Aadhaar card, via the Self Service Update Portal (SSUP). The SSUP is an online portal that allows Aadhaar holders to correct or update their addresses in the Aadhaar card, without visiting the office.
In a tweet, UIDAI said, “Update your demographic details online through SSUP” and further shared the link of the portal too. It is also important to note that though more than one detail can be updated at once, a charge of Rs 50 needs to be paid per request.
Aadhaar card is the most crucial identity verification document in our country. It plays a vital role in availing the benefits of various government schemes and services.
According to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Aadhaar card holders will now be able to update more than one detail at once.
