How to Book a Slot for Aadhaar Update
Aadhaar, India’s biometric identification system, is a crucial document for accessing services like banking, healthcare, and government benefits. If you need to update your Aadhaar details (e.g., biometrics, address, or photo), follow these steps to book an appointment:
1. Online Slot Booking
a. Visit the official Aadhaar Update Portal
Go to the Aadhaar Update Portal or download the Aadhaar Seva app (Android/iOS).
b. Log In or Register
New users: Create an account using your Aadhaar number, mobile number, and email.
Existing users: Log in with your credentials.
c. Select "Update Aadhaar"
Click on the option to update biometrics, address, or other details.
d. Choose an Update Center
Select your state, district, and city from the dropdown menus.
Enter your pin code to filter nearby centers.
e. Book a Slot
Choose a preferred date and time from the available slots.
Enter your Aadhaar number and mobile number for verification.
Confirm the slot and generate a QR code or acknowledgment number.
f. Save the Acknowledgment
Print the acknowledgment or save it digitally. You’ll need it for future reference and to track the status of your update.
2. Walk-in Booking (Without Prior Appointment)
Some Aadhaar Update Centers allow walk-in bookings if slots are available.
Visit the nearest center during working hours (usually 9 AM–5 PM).
Carry your original Aadhaar card, proof of address (PAN, voter ID, etc.), and a valid ID proof.
Fill the update form and submit biometrics (fingerprints, photo, and iris scan).
3. Update via Post
If you cannot visit a center, you can update your address by post:
Download the Aadhaar Update Form from the official website.
Fill in your details, attach self-attested copies of address proof, and send it to:
Aadhaar Update, PO Box No. 9911, Madhyamgram, West Bengal 700131, India.
Include a self-addressed envelope for acknowledgment.
Important Notes
Documents Required: Original Aadhaar card, proof of address (PAN, voter ID, ration card), and proof of identity (same as Aadhaar).

Cancelation: Cancel slots 24 hours in advance via the portal or app to avoid penalties.
Troubleshooting
