The Unique Identification Authority of India, under the Indian government, has launched an identity card known as the Aadhaar card. An Aadhaar card is a document that records all the important details of an individual like name, age, biometric details, etc., and issues a unique 12-digit identity number along with it.
Every Indian has to mandatorily register their identity with a photograph and other details under the Aadhaar card. In such a scenario, apart from biometrics, other information may change with time, like address, phone numbers and even photos. The citizens have the right and the facility to update their Aadhaar card photos.
