SSUP Portal: Update Your Aadhaar Online via myAadhaar
SSUP stands for Self Service Update Portal, UIDAI’s online tool for updating your Aadhaar details from home instead of queuing at a centre. It is now part of the wider myAadhaar portal, reached at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in, so you may see it called either name. You log in with your Aadhaar number and an OTP sent to your registered mobile, which means a registered mobile is essential to use it. The portal handles the everyday corrections most people need chiefly address and supporting documents while anything involving biometrics still requires an in person visit. Think of it as the front door for online Aadhaar updates.

What Updates Can Be Made on SSUP (2026)
Not everything can be changed online, so it helps to know the split before you start.
- Address: update your address online with valid address proof.
- Documents: refresh your proof-of-identity and proof-of-address documents on record.
- Name, date of birth, gender: UIDAI has been expanding these to online, though some still route through a center. Check what your dashboard offers.
What you cannot do online: update your biometrics or photo and change your mobile number or email all of these need a visit to an Aadhaar centre, because they require live verification. If the portal does not show an option for your field, that is the signal it must be done in person.
Step-by-Step: Access and Use SSUP Portal
Make sure your mobile is registered with Aadhaar, then follow these steps.
- Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and click Login.
- Enter your Aadhaar number and captcha, then the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
- Choose the update you need, such as Address Update or Document Update.
- Enter the new details and upload a clear colour scan of the supporting document.
- Review the preview, pay any fee, and submit to get your SRN or URN.
Always confirm the address bar shows the official uidai.gov.in domain before entering anything, as fake look-alike SSUP sites have been reported. Save the SRN or URN; you need it to track the request.
Documents Required for SSUP Update
You upload a scanned colour copy of an original document that proves the detail you are changing. For an address change, a valid Proof of Address passport, bank passbook, recent utility bill, ration card, or voter ID works.
For identity, a Proof of Identity such as PAN, passport, or voter ID. The document must be in your name, must actually match the new details you enter, and must be a clear colour scan, not a photo of a photocopy. Most rejections happen here: a blurry upload, or details that do not match the document. Use UIDAI’s official list of accepted documents if you are unsure what qualifies.
Fee and Timeline for SSUP Updates
There is a time-limited offer worth knowing: updating your identity and address documents online is free until 14 June 2026 on the myAadhaar portal. After that, a document update is expected to carry a small fee online and more at a centre. A standalone demographic update,
such as a name or address change, costs around 75 at a centre under UIDAI’s October 2025 ₹ charges; some sites still quote the older 50, so confirm on the payment screen. As for ₹ timing, an update usually reflects within about 7 to 30 days, though UIDAI’s official service standard allows up to 90.
How to Check SSUP Update Status
When you submit, the portal generates an SRN or URN (a service or update request number), shown on screen and sent by SMS. To track progress, return to the myAadhaar portal and open “Check Aadhaar Update Status,” enter that number, and you will see whether the request is in progress, approved, or rejected. Once approved, download your fresh eAadhaar straight away. Keep the number safe until the update is done, because it is the only way to follow the request, and you will also need it if you have to raise a grievance about a delay.
