The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has enabled residents to add or update their email ID in Aadhaar directly through the Aadhaar App, eliminating the need to visit an Aadhaar enrolment centre.

The service is free of cost and will be available for six months from July 1, 2026. Within two days of its launch, over 2.5 lakh users updated their email IDs. UIDAI said linking an email with Aadhaar enhances security by providing real-time notifications for Aadhaar authentication requests. The Aadhaar App also allows users to update their mobile number and address digitally.
