These documents are necessary to update Aadhaar
Any person can update his details on the ‘MyAadhaar’ portal through documents like ration card, voter ID card, residence certificate, passport and passbook. These documents can be submitted on the ‘MyAadhaar’ portal or at any Aadhaar enrollment center. On online submission, the individual will have to log in using the one-time password received on the mobile number linked to his Aadhaar number.
NRIs can also avail this facility
The UIDAI said that non-resident Indians (NRIs) can also avail this facility. NRIs can submit documents online or by visiting an Aadhaar centre whenever they are in India. According to the UIDAI, newborns can also be enrolled for Aadhaar by “providing birth certificate and Aadhaar number of parents”. But, their Aadhaar biometrics should be updated between 5 to 15 years.
