🇮🇳 UIDAI to Launch eAadhaar App by December 2025
Published: November 2025
India’s Unique Identification Authority (UIDAI) is gearing up to launch a brand-new mobile application — eAadhaar App — by the end of 2025, aimed at allowing citizens to update their Aadhaar details directly from smartphones without visiting enrollment centers.
According to official sources and tech reports, the AI-powered app will be available on both Android and iOS platforms and will support updates to name, address, date of birth, and mobile number, all verified using AI-based facial recognition and government-linked databases.
Key Highlights
- 📱 eAadhaar App to launch by December 2025 (Android + iOS).
- 🧾 Will allow updates to name, address, DOB, and mobile number online.
- 🔐 AI-based facial recognition and smart document verification for better security.
- 💸 Revised fee structure (effective Nov 1, 2025):
- Demographic update – ₹75
- Biometric update – ₹125
- 🪪 PAN–Aadhaar linking deadline: December 31, 2025 — unlinked PANs will be deactivated from Jan 1, 2026.
What’s New with the eAadhaar App?
The upcoming eAadhaar App is part of UIDAI’s larger digital-first initiative to simplify Aadhaar management. It aims to cut down long queues, physical document submissions, and offline verification hassles.
Expected features include:
- Automatic validation of documents such as passport, driving license, and birth certificate.
- Facial recognition authentication for secure access and fraud prevention.
- Direct smartphone interface for updating demographic details.
However, biometric updates (fingerprints, iris scans) will still require visiting Aadhaar Seva Kendras to maintain data integrity.
Fact Check: What’s Available Right Now
Many social media reports claimed that UIDAI now allows online name, DOB, and mobile updates — but a fact-check reveals that’s not yet true.
As of now, only address updates are possible through the myAadhaar portal.
UIDAI clarified that while some document-based demographic updates may be rolled out in the future, full-fledged online updates will only become available once the eAadhaar app officially launches.
