If it is not linked, that update itself must be done in person. - ALWAYS retain the acknowledgment slip and the Update Request Number. It is the only way to track the request. - Documents produced must be in original for verification; photocopies are retained. - There are prescribed limits on how many times certain fields, such as name and date of birth, may be updated. Where a limit has been exhausted, an exception request through the regional office is required. - DO NOT write your full Aadhaar number on any document that will be publicly filed. Masked Aadhaar, showing only the last four digits, is available for download and should be used wherever proof of identity is required.
