In a major announcement, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said that the window for updating Aadhaar details online for free will close on Saturday, 14 December.
Aadhaar holders are therefore asked to update their details, such as address changes, through the UIDAI’s myAadhaar portal before this deadline. This initiative aims to improve service delivery and ensure accurate Aadhaar-based authentication, with UIDAI recommending updates every 10 years.
From 15 December 2024 onwards, updating Aadhaar details will no longer be free. While changes can still be made at Aadhaar enrolment centres, fees will apply.
The below steps need to be followed to update the Aadhaar card online for free -
1. Visit the Portal: Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in.
2. Log In: Enter your Aadhaar number, captcha code, and click ‘Send OTP’. Use the OTP received on your registered phone number to log in.
3. Select Update Option: Choose ‘Document Update’.
4. Review Guidelines: Carefully read the instructions and click ‘Next’.
5. Verify Details: Check the box confirming the details are correct and proceed.
6. Upload Documents: Upload your Proof of Identity and Proof of Address documents.
7. Submit: Click ‘Submit’.
The Aadhaar holder will receive a Service Request Number (SRN) via email to track the update status.
