1. Demographic Details
2. Biometric Details

Demographic Details

Under this type, you can change address, mobile number, email ID, Name (only minor changes allowed), date of birth, and gender.

• As a result of marriage, there could be a change in address as well as Name. 
• Due to personal reasons, the resident might have changed the mobile number and email ID
• Errors in the incorporation of date of birth/age and Name during enrolment.

The above are the main reasons why the updation of demographic details in the Aadhar Card may be required.

Biometric Details

The need for updation arises in the following cases.

• If an Aadhar card has been made when a child was less than five years, then the child has to be re-enrolled after five years, and biometric details have to be updated. Once again, when the child attains the age of 15 years updation of biometric details have to be done.
• If the age of the resident was above 15 years, then the biometric details updation has to be done once in 10 years.
• For residents for whom biometric updation was exempted due to an accident or some disease
• Where the biometric capture has been falsely rejected due to the failure of authentication for an authentic resident with an Aadhar number, authentication failure at the time of enrolment could be because of the poor biometric quality. Then the resident has to opt for biometric updation.
