In today’s digital era, where information is easily accessible with just a click, staying on top of deadlines has never been more crucial. As we approach the end of 2023, we must be aware of impending financial deadlines impacting our lives. Among these is updating your Aadhaar details with the December 14, 2023 deadline. In this blog, let’s understand all questions related to Aadhaar Updates.
Free Aadhaar Updates Till 14th December 2023
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) extended the free Aadhaar update service from September 14 to December 14, 2023, exclusively on the myAadhaar portal. If you choose to visit a UID center for the update, a fee of Rs 50 will be applicable.
UIDAI, “Due to the positive feedback from residents, UIDAI has decided to extend the free update facility for another three months. The extension, from September 15 to December 14, 2023, allows residents, especially those with Aadhaar a decade old and not updated, to revalidate their demographic information by uploading identity and address proof documents online or visiting the nearest Aadhaar center.”
Why You Should Update Your Aadhaar Information
Updating Aadhaar details is crucial as UIDAI mandates Indian residents to refresh their information every 10 years to maintain accuracy in the database. Life events such as marriage, migration, or other personal reasons may necessitate changes in demographic details.
The government has set new rules for updating Aadhaar details of children. According to these guidelines, parents need to provide all biometrics for updates when the child turns 15. This helps keep the child’s Aadhaar data accurate as they grow older.
How to Update Aadhaar Information on the Portal
For those needing to update their Aadhaar details, the process is simple and free until December 14, 2023. Visit the official UIDAI website, log in with your Aadhaar number, receive an OTP on your registered mobile number, and proceed to “Document Update.” Verify and upload the necessary documents to confirm your information.
