Last Updated on September 14, 2025 by My Aadhaar Card

Update Aadhaar at Home:- The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) provides the Aadhaar card, an important ID for Indian citizens and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). Aadhaar is highly used for government schemes, subsidies, bank services, and many online verifications. With time, the need for Aadhaar update, Aadhaar card download, and Aadhaar address change has become very important for all age groups.

If your parent, grandparent, senior citizen, or a differently-abled family member is not able to visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra, UIDAI now offers Aadhaar home enrolment and Aadhaar update at home through its official Aadhaar Home Enrolment Service. This latest UIDAI service is helpful, simple, and trusted. Below is a complete, updated, and practical Aadhaar guide you can use.

What exactly is the Home Enrolment Service?

UIDAI’s Home Enrolment Service enables Aadhaar enrolment and updates to be done at the resident’s home by a certified operator from a UIDAI Registrar (e.g., UIDAI-run Aadhaar Seva Kendra, State registrar, banks, India Post, etc.). It’s specifically for:

• Senior citizens
• Bedridden or infirm residents
• Persons with disabilities (Divyangjan)

The service uses the same official Aadhaar software (ECMP client) and follows UIDAI’s security and process controls.

Who is eligible? (Eligibility & Proof)

UIDAI extends the service to senior citizens, bedridden/infirm residents, and Divyangjan. To request it, either you (or a family member) can book an appointment online using Aadhaar Special Services feature (complete process for this is provided below), or you (or a family member) must email the concerned Regional Office (RO) with any one of the following to establish eligibility:

• Medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner (for bedridden/infirm)

• Photo + fingerprints update for one resident → ₹700 + ₹100 = ₹800
• Two residents at same address doing demographic updates → ₹700 (first) + ₹350 (second) + ₹50 + ₹50 = ₹1,150
