Learn how to change the photo on your Aadhaar card online, required documents, appointment booking, and FAQs in this comprehensive guide.
Aadhaar serves as the primary identity proof for every Indian citizen. Over time, the photograph on your Aadhaar may become outdated due to age, hairstyle changes, or other reasons. An outdated photo can cause inconvenience during government job applications, bank transactions, or any verification process that requires a match between your face and the Aadhaar image. This article explains the official procedure to change the photo on your Aadhaar card, the required documents, and useful tips to complete the update smoothly.

| 2 | Select “Book an Appointment” under the “Update Aadhaar Details” section. |
| 3 | Choose your state, city and click “Proceed to Appointment”. |
| 4 | Enter your 12‑digit Aadhaar number and verify with the OTP sent to the mobile number linked with your Aadhaar. |
