  Creating such a profile is fairly straightforward. The (potentially) hard part is for CiviCRM to know who the person is. You have three options:
  
  * If your users can log into your site, then the site will know who they are.
  * If you can trust your users to enter their data correctly, you can give them a blank form to fill out and configure your [Unsupervised Dedupe Rule](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/common-workflows/deduping-and-merging/#dedupe-rules) to identify the record that needs updating.
  * You can create an email linking users to the profile using a URL with a [checksum token](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/organising-your-data/profiles/). These can be a bit confusing to add to your emails for non-technical folk, in which case you may want to install the [Fancy Tokens](https://civicrm.org/extensions/fancy-tokens) extension, which gives a nicer user experience.
  
  As for the form itself, you can use a [profile](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/organising-your-data/profiles/), or if you need something fancier you can use Webform with CiviCRM integration (if you use Drupal or Backdrop) or Caldera Forms CiviCRM (if WordPress).
  
  If you haven't created a form like this before, and you aren't a documentation learner, you can find videos on YouTube covering CiviCRM profiles.
  
  It often helps to include first and last name as read-only fields, it helps folks understand that the system knows who they are.
