The Aadhaar Card is one of the most important identity proof documents for citizens of India. The 12-digit individual identification number is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India on behalf of the government of India. It contains demographic and biometric data of the cardholder and is essential for availing government benefits, filling forms for schools or colleges, and other official work.
While all the Unique Identification numbers in Aadhaar remain the same throughout life, there are often changes which need to be updated in the card. People sometimes need to update their home address, phone number, and even photo with time.
