Aadhaar Card Update: Deadline Extended Again, How To Update Online/Offline?

Aadhaar card holders can heave a sigh of relief as the deadline to update Aadhaar card has been extended once again, according to information available on UIDAI. The government has decided to extend the deadline this time till June 14, 2024.

Earlier the government has issued March 14, 2024 as the deadline to update Aadhaar card for free.

As per the official handle of UIDAI on social media platform X (earlier Twitter), "UIDAI extends free online document upload facility till 14th June 2024; to benefit millions of Aadhaar holders. This free service is available only on the myAadhaar portal. UIDAI has been encouraging people to keep documents updated in their Aadhaar." Below is the post:

According to UIDAI official website, Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique number issued to residents of India on the basis of demographic as well as biometric details. Aadhaar can significantly stop duplicate numbers among Indian citizens as it is unique and has been linked to an individual's biometrics. It can effectively identify false and ghost identities that may lead to leaks. It is impossible that any resident will have a fake number as Aadhaar card is linked to their individual biometrics which can easily find out ghost identities.

Was You Aadhaar Card Issued 10 Years Ago? If you are also facing the similar situation and you have never updated your Aadhaar card ever since it was issued, it is imperative to update it. It is because UIDAI continues to advise residents of India to submit Proof of Identity and Proof of Address (PoI/PoA) documents in order to revalidate their demographic details. It will help in providing better services and authentication will also be increasingly successful.
