What do you mean by Aadhaar Update History?

The Aadhaar update history shows the card holder the record of all the modifications made to the Aadhaar card since it was first issued. An Aadhaar holder can update or change details like name, address, email ID, photo, and date of birth at an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre, although only the address can be updated online through the myAadhaar portal.

Aadhaar details that can be updated are demographic information such as name, address, date of birth or age, gender, mobile number and email address, and biometric information such as iris, fingerprints and facial photograph.

These updates are recorded, and users can easily access their update history to review past changes. If you notice any incorrect or incomplete information on your Aadhaar card, you can follow the necessary steps to update and correct it. This ensures that the details are always correct.
