How to Check Aadhaar Update History

Keeping your Aadhaar information accurate is essential for banking, government verification, KYC, and everyday identity use. Whenever you update any detail on your Aadhaar such as your name, address, photo, mobile number, or date of birth - UIDAI stores a record of the update. This record is known as your Aadhaar Update History.

It helps you track all changes made to your Aadhaar since the day it was issued. If you ever need to verify whether a correction request was processed, check past modifications, or confirm there were no unauthorised updates, the update history is the most reliable tool. You can view it anytime on the official UIDAI website using your Aadhaar number and OTP.

What Is Aadhaar Update History?

Aadhaar Update History is an online record that shows every update request you have made to your Aadhaar card. It includes both demographic and biometric changes. The history provides full transparency so you can see when an update was submitted, what type of correction was requested, and whether it was successfully processed.

Typically, your update history may include:

• The date and time when you checked the history
• The date of each update request
• URN (Update Request Number) for every modification
• Type of update such as name, address, gender, mobile number, DOB, or biometrics
• Your Aadhaar holder photograph
• Status of the request (Success / Failure)

This makes it a valuable feature for ensuring your Aadhaar data has not been changed incorrectly or misused.

Why Checking Aadhaar Update History Is Important

Reviewing your update history from time to time helps you:

✔ Confirm whether your submitted update was processed successfully
✔ Detect errors or mismatches in your Aadhaar information
✔ Identify any unauthorised changes made using your Aadhaar
✔ Keep a clean record of your demographic corrections
✔ Maintain accurate information across banks, government portals, and KYC systems

UIDAI recommends checking your update history especially after submitting a correction request or when applying for services that require accurate Aadhaar data.
