UIDAI gives seven days deadline to update Aadhaar details for free

The Unique Identification Authority of India in September 2023, has announced a three-month extension of the complimentary Aadhaar update service, spanning from September 14 to December 14, 2023. This free service is exclusively available on the myAadhaar portal. And now there is apparently just a few days left to update the Aadhaar details for free. The UIDAI allows users to update Aadhaar details online.

The decision is a part of the Digital India project and encourages residents to take advantage of the free document updating service on the myAadhaar portal. Earlier, the UIDAI tweeted about the initiative and mentioned that citizens can upload Proof of Identity and Proof of Address documents online on UIDAI website free of cost. The date for free service has been extended many times in the past.   

It is also important to note that using physical Aadhaar centers for the same service will still cost Rs 50. The UIDAI stressed upon the need to revalidate their demographic information, especially if their Aadhaar was issued ten years ago and has not been updated. Updating this information contributes to better service delivery and increased convenience.

In case one needs to update demographic details such as Name, Date of Birth, Address, etc., they have two options, one is to use the standard online update service and second is to visit a local Aadhar center, but standard fees will be charged in the latter case.

Aadhaar number holders are allowed, under the Aadhaar Enrollment and Updating Rules, 2016, to update their supporting documents in Aadhaar at least once every ten years from the date of enrollment to maintain the accuracy of their data. Don't miss the opportunity to update your Aadhaar details for free before December 14, 2023.
