Aadhaar card holders will need to head to UIDAI website to access the feature. Next, click on the “Aadhaar update history” option. A section will open where users will need to fill in their Aadhaar number ot virtual IS as well as security captha. Aadhaar users will then receive an OTP on their registered mobile number, which they need to put in a box displayed on the website.

All updates made since the generation of Aadhaar card including, name, gender, date of birth, etc will be displayed date-wise. Any changes, including addition or deletion of mobile number or email id will also be shown.

“Providing Aadhaar update history will bring in more trust and further empower people because they can now use their update history to the authorities while applying for jobs, school admissions, various services or benefits, etc, because in most such cases they are usually asked to provide their address for the last two or three years,” Pandey said.
