Update Your Aadhaar Online for Free Before June 14: Step-by-Step Guide
If you’ve been thinking about updating your Aadhaar details, now is the time. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is offering a free online Aadhaar update service until June 14, giving you a chance to update key information without visiting a physical center or paying the usual ₹50 fee.
This special offer was introduced to help citizens keep their Aadhaar records up to date. Although the deadline has already been extended a few times, it is currently set to end on June 14.
Why It’s Important to Update Your Aadhaar
As per the Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Regulations, 2016, residents are required to update their Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) every 10 years. Keeping these details current ensures that your Aadhaar remains valid for essential services such as government subsidies, banking, and other KYC processes.
Neglecting regular updates may lead to service disruptions, delays, or rejections when accessing public services. It also helps the government maintain accurate demographic records and prevent misuse or fraudulent activities.
What Can Be Updated Online
UIDAI allows individuals to update certain demographic information online through the myAadhaar portal. These include:
-
Name (only minor changes)
-
Date of Birth (subject to conditions)
-
Address
-
Gender
-
Language preferences
Note: Biometric updates, such as fingerprints, iris scans, and photographs, cannot be done online. These require a visit to an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre due to the need for in-person verification.
