Last date to update Aadhaar for free extended: Check deadline and other key details

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline for updating your personal details like name, date of birth or address, for free by three months. Earlier the deadline to update Aadhaar details without paying a fee was June 14, 2023.

Now, the UIDAI has extended the deadline till September 14.  

However, the service can be availed free of cost only online through the myAadhaar portal while updating demographic information at any physical Aadhaar centre would attract a fee of Rs 50, according to UIDAI.  

UIDAI had asked citizens to update their demographic details on Aadhaar cards, specifically for those who had received their Aadhaar cards 10 years ago.

“Keep Demographic Details Updated to Strengthen Your #Aadhaar. If your Aadhaar had been issued 10 years ago and had never been updated - you may now upload Proof of Identity and Proof of Address documents online at https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in ‘free of cost’ from 15 March - June 14, 2023,” UIDAI had tweeted in March.
