The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline for free online document updates in Aadhaar till June 14, 2026. This move will benefit millions of Aadhaar number holders across the country, allowing them to keep their identity records accurate and up-to-date at no cost, exclusively via the official myAadhaar portal.
What’s the Update?
Previously, online Aadhaar updates came with a nominal fee of Rs 50. Now, to encourage better document hygiene and simplify the update process, UIDAI has waived the fee for uploading Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) documents online.
However, this free service is only available online and not at Aadhaar centers, where charges still apply.
Who Needs to Update?
This update is especially helpful if your Aadhaar details have changed due to:
Marriage (name change)
Address change or relocation
Minor discrepancies in official documents
What You Can Update for Free (Online Only)
Proof of Identity (PoI)
Proof of Address (PoA)
Note: Changes to mobile number, email ID, biometrics, or photo still require an in-person visit to an Aadhaar Enrollment/Update Center and are chargeable.
