Apply for Corrections in Aadhar Card Online

How to make corrections in Aadhar Card Online

Aadhar card has slowly become the essential proof to avail the government services.  As such, it is essential to have the Aadhar card with correct and up-to-date details.  I have already made a post on applying for aadhar card couple of years back. Based on the queries and follow-ups which I have received on the post, I am writing this post on how to make corrections in the details provided in the Aadhar card just by few clicks online.

Details which can be changed in the Aadhar Card online:

1. Name

2. Gender

3. Date of Birth

4. Address

5. Mobile Phone Number

6. Email ID

Steps to apply for corrections in Aadhar Card online:

Step-1 – Login to the Portal:

The first step in applying for the corrections in the Aadhar card is to login to the “Aadhar Self Service Update Portal” by clicking the below link or click here:

https://ssup.uidai.gov.in/web/guest/update

A screen like below will open:

We need to enter the Aadhar number for which the corrections to be applied and the OTP (One Time Password) will be sent to the mobile number which was registered with the Aadhar number while applying for the same.

Kindly note, the OTP will be sent the mobile number which was updated while applying for the Aadhar card. In many instances, I have seen people have given one single mobile number for the Aadhar number applied for all their family members. So kindly make sure to check the OTP in that specific mobile number.

Also note that, the OTP is valid only for 15 minutes from the time they sent the SMS. Kindly make sure to enter the OTP as soon as you receive.

Step-2:  Choosing the fields / data which need to be changed / corrected:

After entering the OTP, the below screen will open and we need to check the details which need to be changed / corrected.  We can check multiple fields in case we want to make multiple changes and corrections in Aadhar card.

Step-3:  Applying for the changes selected and uploading the valid documents for supporting the corrections / changes:

1) For changes / corrections in Mobile Number and Email ID and Gender:

No documents are needed for the corrections / changes in the below fields:

a) Mobile Number

b) Email ID

c) Gender

For the mobile number and Email ID, we will be asked to enter the new mobile / Email ID and then to submit it. No other formalities required. Once submitted, make a note of the Update Request Number (URN) which will be used to track the status.

2) For changes / corrections in Name:

There may be some error in the spelling or we might have changed our name. In both the instances, we can update the aadhar details by typing the new name in the required field. But we need to upload the proof of Identity to support the name change / corrections.

It is advisable to save this acknowledgement, as this URN will be used to track the status of our request. The acknowledgement will look like the below screenshot:

Step-5: Tracking the status:

Step 5.2: The below screen will open

Step 5.3: Enter the Aadhar number and the URN (Update Request Number – Which was there in the acknowledgement in step 4). 

Kindly note that the URN might have the “/” symbols in the acknowledgement. While typing the URN in the tracking screen above, ignore those backslashes “/” and type only the numbers.

Step 5.4: Status will be shown in the next screen which looks like the below screenshot.

Step-6: Updated Aadhar:

In case of changes in Name, Gender, Address & Date of Birth:  Once the requested change has got updated, updated aadhar letter will be sent to our address

In case of changes in Mobile Number and E-mail ID: Aadhar letter won’t be sent for the changes in Mobile Number and E-mail ID. The status as seen in the step-5 shall be taken as the confirmation that the requested change has been updated in the Aadhar card.

Note:

1)  The corrections can be done online only if the mobile number was registered with the Aadhar number.

2) If the mobile number was not registered, or the registered mobile was not accessible we have to apply for the corrections in offline mode.

In case if you haven’t applied for Aadhar card or want to know how to apply for corrections in offline mode along with the addresses of the permanent aadhar centers in Chennai, please wait for my next post which will be posted very soon.

Kindly share this post / details with those who can’t access the internet like the ones who are working at our home and help them to apply for the corrections if any. This will help them to avail the subsidies from the Government (if any) without any hindrance.

Aadhar Card Enrollment Camps Schedule (Chennai) - September 2013

Aadhar Card Enrollment Camps Schedule (Chennai)  

September 2013

Thank you all for your response and feedback on my earlier post about Aadhar card and now the Schedule for the September Month has been announced. It has been published on this saturday's newspaper (ie. 21st Sep'13).  As like before, I just pulled the necessary data from the ad and added a column for the specific area coverage which was not there in the ad. It will be easier if we can have the area names along with the ward numbers and hence I have incorporated the same in my post here. While compiling this data, I came to know that the whole of Chennai has been categorized under 15 zones and 200 wards by the Chennai Corporation. The Aadhar camp has been organized based on the wards and hence they have mentioned the ward numbers in their ad. If you know your ward number , then it will be easier to locate your camp venue and you can get further more details. Now the question arises, how can I find the ward number. Here it goes..

How to find Ward Number : 

Have a look at your ration card. The first box in the bottom table is what the ward number is. Here is the sample which might help you in finding your ward number in ration card : 

Contact Numbers to clarify the doubts regarding Aadhar Card Camps : 


As many of you were reported in my earlier post that there is no proper response from the officials regarding the Aadhar camps, I tried to browse and gather few contact numbers and thanks to Ms.Sheethal for her doubt which made me scout for the numbers. I just got few numbers starting from 94451 900*** . It has given me a clue that the number is being given in some chronological order. I tried calling the numbers and found out that the numbers were alloted based on the zones. As said already, Chennai have 15 zones and hence numbers ranging from 94451  90201 to 944451 90215. Here is complete list of zonal helpline numbers : 

Zone Number	Zone	Contact No

I have cross checked with few numbers and they are responding well. Just try calling them any clarifications. If you find the numbers mentioned above to be wrong, let me know at the earliest.

Conclusion : Eventhough there is a confusion over the applicability of Aadhar card, I would request you all to make use of this camps and apply for this. It will take some 15 to 20 minutes for each person since they will be taking Snap, Finger Prints, Thumb Impression and IRIS.  Those who are from other state and recently shifted to Chennai, Can go ahead to their zonal venue where the camp is being held with the proper ID & Address proof. Even many of us were not aware of these camps and this advertisement in the newspaper has made some people aware about it. Let this post help the majority of people and make them aware about these camps in Chennai. Request you to Share and spread the awareness. Meet you all with my next post.

With Cheers,
