UIDAI Simplifies Aadhaar Services, Enhances Digital Convenience

As of November 18, 2025, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced significant changes to simplify Aadhaar-related services and enhance digital convenience for cardholders.

One of the key updates is that Aadhaar cardholders can now directly update their personal details, such as name, address, date of birth, or mobile number, through the UIDAI portal. This eliminates the need to visit enrollment centers, as the information provided will be digitally verified using linked government documents like PAN cards, passports, driving licenses, or ration cards.

Additionally, the government has mandated that Aadhaar-PAN linking must be completed by December 31, 2025. Any PAN cards not linked to Aadhaar will be deactivated on January 1, 2026. New PAN applicants will also need to undergo Aadhaar-based verification as part of the process.
