If you’ve ever stood in a long Aadhaar centre queue just to change a mobile number, you know how draining it feels. You take time off work. You wait. You carry documents. And sometimes, you’re told to come back another day.
That’s exactly the frustration UIDAI is finally fixing.
With the new Aadhaar app, you can now update your Aadhaar mobile number, address, name, and email from home—no documents, no physical visit, no paperwork. Just your phone, an OTP, and face authentication.

If your Aadhaar details are outdated or mismatched—and that’s blocking bank work, subsidies, or KYC—this update genuinely matters.
Let’s break it down clearly.
New Aadhaar App 2025: What’s Changed?
UIDAI has rolled out a new Aadhaar mobile app focused on one simple idea: make Aadhaar updates digital, secure, and stress-free.
Right now, mobile number update is live, and updates for name, address, and email ID are rolling out soon.
Here’s a quick snapshot:
| Feature | Status | How It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile number update | Live | OTP + Face Authentication |
| Name, address, email update | Coming soon | Fully digital |
| Multiple Aadhaar profiles | Available | Manage up to 5 Aadhaar numbers |
| Offline Aadhaar access | Yes | No internet required |
| Secure sharing | Yes | QR code + face scan |
| Update fee | ₹75 | Paid inside the app |
The goal is simple: you control your data, and you update it without running around.
What You Can Do With the New Aadhaar App
The new app isn’t just about updates. It’s built to make everyday Aadhaar use smoother.
You can:
- Update your mobile number (already live)
- Update name, address, and email ID (coming soon)
- Manage Aadhaar for up to 5 family members on one phone
- Share only selected Aadhaar details via secure QR scan
- Use Aadhaar offline, even without internet
- Log in using face authentication for extra security
Everything is privacy-first. Nothing gets shared unless you choose it.
No Documents Needed: How Is That Possible?
This is the part most people find hard to believe.
The Aadhaar update process is now document-free.
Here’s all you need:
- Your Aadhaar number
- A smartphone

That’s it.
