How to correct your date of birth on Aadhaar
Aadhaar date-of-birth corrections are one of the most tightly controlled updates UIDAI offers, and the rules genuinely differ depending on whether this is your first correction or not.
This is drawn directly from UIDAI's own Standard Operating Procedure for DoB updates — not a general assumption.

Frequently asked questions
What if this is my first time correcting my date of birth?
Submit any valid Proof of Date of Birth — a birth certificate is mandatory if you're under 18.
What if I've already corrected it once before?
You'll need a birth certificate with the same Birth Registration Number as your existing record, plus a notarized affidavit — and per UIDAI's SOP, this is treated as your last allowed correction.
Can date of birth be corrected multiple times freely?
No — a false claim can lead to Aadhaar deactivation and an FIR, per UIDAI's own SOP. Treat a second correction as likely your last.
