📰 Aadhaar Card Rules Change From November 1, 2025 — What You Need to Know
Starting November 1, 2025, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is bringing major updates to Aadhaar card regulations. Every Aadhaar holder must ensure their details are accurate and verified, or risk temporary deactivation of their Aadhaar number.
🔍 Why the Aadhaar Card Update is Important
The Aadhaar card is one of the most essential documents in India — used for banking, mobile verification, government subsidies, and more.
UIDAI has now made it mandatory to reverify and update key details every 10 years to maintain accuracy and security.

Here are the major Aadhaar rule changes effective from November 1, 2025:
- Mandatory Aadhaar Re-verification:
Every Aadhaar cardholder must update their address, mobile number, and biometric data every 10 years. - Inactive Aadhaar Warning:
If your Aadhaar is not updated within the required time, it may become inactive or temporarily deactivated until details are reverified. - Online Aadhaar Update Portal:
UIDAI’s official Aadhaar Self Service Update Portal (SSUP) allows users to update their information online using OTP-based verification. - Document Upload Requirement:
Users must upload proof of identity and address (like PAN, Voter ID, or passport) while updating Aadhaar online.
