Aadhaar Update History

With this facility, you can check the history of your Aadhaar card updates. Every time you change your address, mobile number, or email address, you can place a request to update these details on your Aadhaar card.

However, you will be able to view the Aadhaar update history only online. Read on to know how you can check your Aadhaar update history online.
