UIDAI : The deadline to update your Aadhaar card details for free is quickly approaching, with the last date set for September 14, 2024. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) had previously extended the deadline multiple times, most recently on June 14, giving users a three-month window to make necessary updates. As of now, it remains uncertain whether the deadline will be extended further.
According to UIDAI guidelines, it is recommended that every Aadhaar cardholder update their details after 10 years. This ensures that crucial information, such as your address and other personal details, remains accurate. Keeping your Aadhaar details up-to-date is essential to avoid any inconvenience when applying for government schemes and services.
The UIDAI recommends that all Aadhaar cardholders update their details after 10 years. This practice ensures that your address and other personal information remain current, reducing the risk of issues when accessing government services. While updating Aadhaar details after 10 years is strongly advised, it is not yet mandatory. However, staying proactive in maintaining accurate records is crucial for smooth interactions with government agencies.
Which Details Can You Update Online?
Aadhaar cardholders can update their address online by submitting Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) documents. If your address has not been updated in the last 10 years, you can do so without incurring any fees. To update your address online, it is essential to have the same mobile number linked to your Aadhaar, as you will need to receive OTPs (One-Time Passwords) for online logins and address updates. Other details, such as your name, mobile number, and photo, can only be updated by visiting UIDAI-authorized centers.
