Formatting Documents for Aadhar Updates: Step-by-Step

The UIDAI portal is now more strict about document resolution and file size. If you're updating your address, name, or gender, you'll need the correct Aadhar document formatting.

Supported Formats

UIDAI accepts PDF, JPEG, and PNG files.

Size Constraints

• Document Size: Most uploads must be under 2MB.
• Clarity Requirement: Even if the file is small, the text must be clearly legible.

Best Practices

1. Scanning: Use a high-quality scanner or a reliable phone app to capture your document.
2. Merging: If you have a front and back of an ID, merge them into a single PDF before uploading.
3. Compression: If your scan is 5MB+, compress it to the 500KB-1MB range to ensure total safety for portal upload.
