Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) allows users to change their Aadhaar card picture if they want. The process will cost you Rs 100 which is set by UIDAI. Notably, this cannot be done online as you will have to visit your nearby Aadhaar Permanent Enrolment Centre to update your photo. However, you can still download the enrolment form online and fill it out before heading out to the Aadhaar centre.
Here are the quick steps that you can follow to change your photo on the Aadhaar card.
- Go to the Aadhaar page on the UIDAI website
- Click on “Download Aadhaar”
- Now enter the Aadhaar Number, Enrolment ID or Virtual ID
- Enter the Captcha and click on “Send OTP”
- Enter the OTP received on the registered mobile number
- Click on “Verify & Download” to download the updated e-Aadhaar Card in pdf format
Notably, it is not possible to update your Aadhaar card picture online. UIDAI only allows to update demographic details online with supported documents. These include name, address, date of birth, gender, cellphone number, and email.
