On UIDAI's site, under 'My Aadhaar,' click 'Download Aadhaar.' Enter your details, captcha, and OTP. A PDF will download – your new Aadhaar. The password is the first four letters of your name (capitalized) followed by your birth year. Updates usually take a month, sometimes three.

Why do people change?
Update your Aadhaar photo if it's unclear, old, or unrecognizable. Issues can arise at banks, airports, and government offices. A clear photo is worth the 100 rupees, especially for kids. Children's Aadhaars are often made when they're young, and the photo becomes outdated. Updating it ensures access to government schemes and avoids identification problems.
