Fill the Aadhaar Enrolment / Update Form (Form 1) — Free, No Sign-Up

Aadhaar Form 1 is the current combined Enrolment and Update form issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) under the Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Regulations. It replaced the old standalone enrolment form and correction form: a single sheet now covers both first-time enrolment and updates to an existing Aadhaar. Form 1 is for resident individuals aged 18 and above (and NRIs with an Indian address). You tick either the Enrolment box or the Update box at the top, fill your demographic details, and take the printed form to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or enrolment centre, where biometrics are captured in person.

The official Aadhaar update form PDF is Form 1, published by UIDAI at uidai.gov.in under My Aadhaar > Downloads > Enrolment and Update Forms — one form covers both new enrolment and updates. This page mirrors that exact UIDAI Form 1 PDF and opens it in a free browser editor, so you can type your details, save a copy, and print it — nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Beware of third-party sites still distributing the deprecated version 2.1 enrolment form and the old separate correction form; enrolment centres work only from the current Forms 1-8 series.

There is no separate correction form any more. Under the current UIDAI regime, corrections and updates to an existing Aadhaar — name spelling, date of birth, gender, address, mobile number, email — are all made with the same Form 1, ticking the Update option instead of Enrolment, and filling only the fields you want changed plus your 12-digit Aadhaar number. The old Aadhaar Data Update/Correction Form that many websites still host is deprecated. For address and document updates you can also use the online myAadhaar portal; for biometric, name, date-of-birth and mobile changes you must visit an enrolment centre.

A mobile number update cannot be done fully online, because UIDAI verifies the new number with an OTP captured at the centre. Use Form 1: tick Update, write your Aadhaar number, fill only the mobile-number field, and take the form to any Aadhaar Seva Kendra or enrolment centre with your Aadhaar. No supporting document is needed for a mobile update — the operator verifies you by biometrics on the spot. The fee is Rs 50 (a demographic update). You can pre-book a slot at appointment.uidai.gov.in to skip the queue.

The e-Aadhaar downloaded from myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in is a password-protected PDF. The password is the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITAL letters (as printed on Aadhaar) followed by your year of birth in YYYY format — for example, for SUMAN born in 1990 the password is SUMA1990. If you need to remove the password to print or archive your own e-Aadhaar, a free PDF unlock tool that runs entirely in your browser opens it with the password so the document never leaves your device.

First-time Aadhaar enrolment is completely free, as are the mandatory biometric updates for children at ages 5 and 15 when done within the prescribed window. For everyone else: a demographic update (name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile, email) costs Rs 50 per visit regardless of how many demographic fields you change, and a biometric update (fingerprints, iris, photo) costs Rs 100. UIDAI has also run a free online document-update window on the myAadhaar portal, extended several times — check myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in for the current deadline before paying at a centre.

UIDAI accepts a defined list of documents in four categories: Proof of Identity (passport, PAN card, voter ID, driving licence, government service ID and others), Proof of Address (passport, bank statement or passbook, electricity or water bill under 3 months old, ration card, rent agreement and others), Proof of Date of Birth (birth certificate, passport, Class 10 marksheet) and Proof of Relationship for family-head-based enrolment. Originals are scanned at the centre and returned to you immediately. If you have no address document in your name, a Certificate for Aadhaar Enrolment/Update signed by a designated certifier can be used instead.

A demographic update changes the text data on your Aadhaar — name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile number or email — costs Rs 50, and for address/documents can often be done online through myAadhaar. A biometric update re-captures your fingerprints, iris scans and photograph, costs Rs 100, and always requires a centre visit because the biometric devices are only at enrolment centres. Children must have biometrics captured for the first time at age 5 and updated at age 15 (the Mandatory Biometric Update), free within the window.

No. There is no fully-online Aadhaar enrolment: UIDAI requires biometrics — ten fingerprints, both iris scans and a photograph — to be captured in person at an authorised enrolment centre. The practical workflow is: fill Form 1 in your browser on this page, print it, gather your documents, book a slot at appointment.uidai.gov.in, and hand the completed form to the operator. Filling in advance avoids handwriting errors, which matter — a misspelled name becomes a Rs 50 correction visit later. Only certain updates can be completed online via the myAadhaar portal.

Use UIDAI's official appointment portal at appointment.uidai.gov.in — it locates nearby Aadhaar Seva Kendras and enrolment centres by state, postcode or landmark, and lets you book a specific date and time slot for new enrolment, mobile update, demographic update or biometric update. Centres also operate inside many banks, post offices and Common Service Centres on a walk-in basis. Bring the filled Form 1, your original documents and, for updates, your existing Aadhaar number.

It depends on age and residency. Form 3 is for resident children aged 5 to under 18 (new enrolment or update), and Form 5 is for resident children below 5 years — infants are enrolled with a photograph only, no fingerprints or iris, linked to a parent's Aadhaar as Baal Aadhaar. For NRI children the parallel forms are Form 4 (5 to under 18) and Form 6 (below 5). A Proof of Relationship document such as a birth certificate links the child to the parent or guardian, who must sign the form. Remember the Mandatory Biometric Updates at ages 5 and 15 — free when done on time.

No — this page carries the current Form 1 from UIDAI's Forms 1-8 series, introduced with the Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Amendment Regulations. Many websites still circulate the deprecated version 2.1 enrolment form and the old separate correction form; enrolment centres no longer work from those layouts. The current series splits by applicant type: Form 1 for resident adults, Form 2 for NRIs with a foreign address, Forms 3-6 for children by age and residency, and Forms 7-8 for resident foreign nationals.

Yes — and this matters more for Aadhaar than for almost any other document, because the form carries your name, date of birth, address, mobile number and Aadhaar number together. PDF Edit runs entirely in your browser: the UIDAI PDF is fetched to your device and everything you type stays in your device's memory. There is no upload, no account, no email, and no server-side copy — we could not read your data even if we wanted to, because it never reaches us. Save the filled PDF locally, print it, and delete it whenever you wish.

There is no separate address change form — use the same Form 1, tick Update, write your 12-digit Aadhaar number, and fill only the address block plus a Proof of Address document (electricity or water bill under 3 months old, bank passbook, passport, rent agreement, etc.). The fee is Rs 50 as a demographic update. Address is also the one field you can often update fully online through the myAadhaar portal by uploading your document — but if your address proof is in a relative's name you will need the Head of Family route with a Proof of Relationship document, or the Certificate for Aadhaar Enrolment/Update, both handled at a centre with Form 1.

The Certificate for Aadhaar Enrolment/Update is UIDAI's standard-format certificate for people who have no document in their own name: a designated certifier — MP, MLA, gazetted officer, tehsildar, village head, or recognised institution head — fills and signs it, and it then serves as your Proof of Identity or Proof of Address. It is a separate UIDAI PDF that accompanies your Form 1, not a replacement for it: you still fill Form 1 (ticking Enrolment or Update), attach the signed certificate, and submit both at the enrolment centre. The certificate is valid for 3 months from the date of issue, so get it signed shortly before your centre visit.
