Aadhaar holders can now get their UID numbers corrected or updated through post offices.

Entering into an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with India post, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has propelled this facility under which updates about Aadhaar can be accessed at post offices.

Starting with Bengaluru, eight major post offices have been allocated exclusive facility centres, including Ambedkar Veedhi GPO in central Bengaluru yesterday.

Further more, sub post offices across Karnataka will soon extend the provision from July 10.

For the post-enabled application of change request, you will need to download the update/correction form. Data like name, address, mobile phone number, gender and date of birth can be modified.
You can make a maximum of four change requests with your Aadhaar.
