Aadhaar, derived from the Hindi word aadhaar, means foundation, base or basis. In the true sense, the Aadhaar card has become a basis for accessing various government and public services in India. It is also widely used as proof of identity for many private services. Whether you need to book a train ticket, get a SIM card or enrol your child in school, Aadhaar is often one of the first documents requested. However, many people are unhappy with the photograph on their Aadhaar card. They often overlook this detail when getting the card made, only to realise later that the photograph is not satisfactory. This raises the question: Can you change your Aadhaar photograph, and if you have already changed it once, can you change it again?
There is no specific limit on how many times the photograph can be updated. If you want to change your Aadhaar photograph, you need to visit a nearby Aadhaar centre and request a biometric update.
There is no fixed limit on how many times you can change the photograph on your Aadhaar card, according to the official website of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
