When checking your Aadhaar update history, you must keep these things in your mind:

• You must link your mobile number with your Aadhaar card.
• The process of just checking its history is an online facility. So, the authority in an Aadhaar enrolment centre may not help in this procedure.
• If you want to check your update history without your Aadhaar card, you may do so by first generating a Virtual ID.
• Since this is an online-only facility, the cardholder can access this history update.

There are some advantages of downloading the Aadhaar update history:

• Validation and proof of changed permanent address, if required. 
• Another advantage of this provision is to track any misuse of one's data.
• You can check any changes made ever since your Aadhaar card was generated.

There is no direct way to download the Aadhaar update history, but you can track the changes you have made so far. If you notice any inaccuracy in this list or feel any of the changes are done by someone else. Report this incident.
