Starting November 2025, Aadhaar card holders will be able to modify their name, address, date of birth, and mobile number online. Moreover the digital system, will greatly help in eliminating the need for in-person visits to physical Aadhaar Seva Kendras. Along with ending the tiresome physical paperwork process involved.
From November 1 2025 some new rules have been announced by UIDAI. These new rules aim to make services faster, simpler and user friendly too. Therefore these rules have been mentioned in detail below so you don’t need to sweat it out.
Rule 1: Aadhaar updates made easier-Starting November 1
Aadhaar holders can update personal details such as name, address, date of birth, and contact number entirely online. This update process now verifies data through linked government records like PAN or passport, reducing the need for document uploads or in-person visits. However, biometric updates including fingerprints, iris scans, or photographs will still require a visit to an authorized aadhaar seva kendra centre for verification.
Rule 2: New fees for Aadhaar changes
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced a new fee structure for Aadhaar updates. For changes in demographic details it will cost Rs. 75, while biometric updates will be priced at Rs. 125. Online document updates however remain free until June 14, 2026, after which similar charges will apply. Moreover children aged between 5–7 and 15–17 years are eligible for free biometric updates.
Rule 3: Aadhaar-PAN link becomes compulsory From November 1
Aadhaar and PAN integration becomes mandatory. Individuals must link both documents by December 31, 2025, to prevent deactivation of their PAN from January 1, 2026. Moreover new PAN applicants will also need Aadhaar authentication during registration. Additionally banks and financial institutions have been asked to follow the simplified e-KYC options like OTP, video calls, or in-person Aadhaar confirmation ensuring a faster, paperless, and more transparent identity verification process.
