If your name, date of birth, or address on your driving licence needs updating — or you've moved and need your address changed — this is filed as a correction on the Parivahan (Sarathi) portal, separate from applying for a duplicate DL (which is only for a lost or damaged card). Your DL number and validity stay the same after a correction; only the printed details are updated.

No, correcting a detail or updating your address keeps your existing DL number and validity period unchanged.
