Update Aadhaar documents online for free till June 14

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Wednesday said it has decided to allow residents to update documents online on their Aadhaar card free of cost.

"The free service is available for the next three months, i.e., March 15 to June 14, 2023. It is important to note that this service is free only on myAadhaar portal and will continue to attract a fee of ₹50 at physical Aadhaar centres, as in the case earlier," UIDAI said in a press statement.

The UIDAI has been encouraging residents to upload Proof of Identity and Proof of Address (PoI/PoA) documents to revalidate their demographic details, especially if Aadhaar was issued 10 years back and never got updated. If there is a need to change demographic details (Name, Date of Birth, Address, etc), the residents can use regular online update service, or may visit nearest Aadhaar centre. In such cases normal charges will apply.


"Residents may login on https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ using their Aadhaar number. OTP will be sent to registered mobile number, one must just click on 'Document Update' and the existing details of resident will be displayed. An Aadhaar holder needs to verify the details, if found correct, click on the next hyper-link. In the next screen, the resident must choose Proof of Identity and Proof of Address document from the dropdown list and upload the copies of the same to update his/her documents," the statement added.
