Aadhaar Email ID Update 2026 — Add or Change Email in Aadhaar

Q: How do I update email ID in Aadhaar?

Log in to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in with Aadhaar/VID and mobile OTP, open the email update or demographic update option, enter the new email, verify with email OTP if prompted, and submit the request.

Q: Is email mandatory for Aadhaar?

Email is optional but useful for notifications and some recovery flows. Mobile number remains critical for OTP authentication.

Q: Can I add email to Aadhaar if none is linked?

Yes. Use myAadhaar update email service (when available) or request email update at an Aadhaar centre as per current UIDAI options.

Q: Do I need documents to change Aadhaar email?

Email update is usually OTP-based self-service. If the portal requires centre verification, follow operator instructions.

Q: Why is my Aadhaar email OTP not coming?

Check spam folder, correct spelling of email, wait and resend OTP, or try another browser. Ensure mobile OTP still works for login.

Q: Can I update email if mobile number is wrong?

Fix mobile first using our Aadhaar mobile number update guide, because most online services need registered mobile OTP.

Q: Is there a fee to update email in Aadhaar?

Self-service email update fee (if any) is shown on myAadhaar. Centre-based demographic updates may include the standard update fee.

Q: How to verify email was updated in Aadhaar?

After successful SRN/status, request a test communication if offered, or view registered details in mAadhaar/myAadhaar profile where displayed.
