Applying for fresh Aadhaar or making any changes in Aadhaar needs a physical visit to the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra. However when it comes to correction or update, UIDAI allows limited details to be updated online in Aadhaar and for rest all a visit of enrollment center is a must.

So if you are a working professional or a employee in a firm, you need to take prior permissions from your company as the application of new Aadhaar or update could take few hours depending upon the crowd present at the center.
