              New Delhi: 
              The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which is 
              executing the "Aadhaar" scheme pan-India, Friday launched a new 
              facility to enable people update their demographic profile by post 
              or by way of an online application.
 The authority said in a statement that update requests can be 
              submitted online through the self-service update portal, which 
              will accept requests for changes in name, gender, date of birth, 
              address and mobile number.
 
 This apart, residents can send their request for update on these 
              five fields by post to any of the six regional offices of UIDAI 
              based on the local language in which they were enrolled, the 
              statement added.
 
 Earlier, the update option was available at the enrolment or 
              update centres alone.
 
 "UIDAI recognises the need for facilitating residents to update 
              their demographic and biometric information up-to-date using 
              multiple channels. The facility is one such service made available 
              for the convenience of residents," the statement said.
 
 The new facility was launched by UIDAI Chairman Nandan Nilekani, 
              which allows residents to log on to www.uidai.gov.in and submit 
              requests along with relevant documents. this portal also enables 
              the residents to check the status of their update requests.
