If you are someone who hasn't updated Aadhaar Card for a decade, here is an opportunity for you and that too free of cost. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the last date for updating Aadhaar card details free of cost till December 14, 2023.

One should note that updating your Aadhaar Card details can also save you from Aadhaar-related fraud. Thus, Aadhaar holders now have almost three week's time to update the key details on Aadhaar Card. With the extension of the deadline, Aadhaar card holders can avail the benefit of the free document updation facility through the myAaadhar portal.

In order to update Aadhaar details, individuals need to provide the required identity and address proof through the official website. It is to be noted that the cost-free updates are exclusively available online and will not be acceptable at the physical Aadhaar centres.

How/Where can you update your Aadhaar details?

There are two different ways you can get your details updated:-

• By Visiting the Permanent Enrolment Centre. Search the nearest enrolment centre by clicking on "Locate Enrolment Center" on uidai.gov.in.

Normally, for updation in Aadhaar, either Demographic or Biometric, you have to pay Rs. 50/- (including taxes) to the service provider each time you get your details updated.
