If you've ever updated your name, address, mobile number, or any other detail on your Aadhaar card, there's a way to view the complete history of those changes. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) now allows Aadhaar cardholders to check and download their update history online—a highly useful feature to ensure the accuracy of your personal records.
This tool can help individuals identify when and how their Aadhaar details were altered. Whether the change was authorized or made in error, the update history provides clarity and helps users correct any discrepancies swiftly.
Why Is Aadhaar Update History Important?Over the years, millions of Indians have modified their Aadhaar details for various reasons—whether due to marriage, relocation, mobile number change, or correcting errors in their name or date of birth. Until recently, there was no easy way to track these changes.
Now, with the Aadhaar update history feature available on UIDAI’s official portal and the mAadhaar mobile app, users can monitor every edit ever made to their Aadhaar profile. This functionality not only adds transparency but also empowers users to act if any unauthorized update is discovered.
For example, if someone notices a name change or mobile number update that they never requested, they can take immediate steps to get it corrected. It’s a reliable safeguard against identity misuse.
