You can now download your Aadhaar update history: Here is how

New Delhi: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched a facility using which you can get details of all the updates you have made in your Aadhaar. UIDAI has launched the beta version of an online facility to obtain Aadhaar Update History which can be downloaded and provided to various authorities on demand for availing services.

"Through this facility, people can now obtain their own Aadhaar update history from the UIDAI's website and can use it in support of their assertion of address, etc. We have launched its Beta version," said Ajay Bhushan Pandey, CEO of UIDAI.

In press release issued on Wednesday, the UIDAI said that the Aadhaar Update history shows date-wise details of updates made in address, and other fields on the Aadhaar since its generation. It could be any update relating to name, date of birth, gender or address, or addition/deletion of mobile or email.


"To utilise this facility, the Aadhaar holder would have to go to the UIDAI website www.uidai.gov.in and click on Aadhaar Update History. A page will open where he will fill the Aadhaar number or Virtual ID (VID) and the security captcha. Then he will receive an OTP. After he enters OTP, he would be able to see his own Aadhaar Update History which can be printed for uses as required," Pandey explained.

“Now people can provide their update history to the authorities while applying for jobs, school admissions, various services or benefits, etc., because in most such cases they are usually asked to provide their address for the last two or three years," added Pandey.
