The Unique Identification Authority of India has set clear rules for updating details in your Aadhaar card. However, due to lack of awareness, many people end up paying more than required.

If you are planning to update your Aadhaar details—such as name, address, or mobile number—here’s a complete breakdown of the official charges, rules, and important tips.

Aadhaar Update Fees: Name, Address, Mobile Number

As per UIDAI guidelines:

  • Updating name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile number, or email costs ₹75 per update
  • This service is available at authorized Aadhaar Seva Kendras

This is a standard fee, and you should not be charged extra beyond this amount.

Biometric Update Charges

If you need to update biometric details like:

  • Fingerprints
  • Iris scan
  • Photograph

Then the fee is:

  • ₹125 per update

Biometric updates are especially important for children between 5 to 7 years, as their details need to be refreshed.

Document Update Rules

If you want to update identity or address documents:

  • At Aadhaar centre: ₹75 fee applies
  • Online via myAadhaar Portal:
    • Free until June 14, 2026

After this deadline, charges may apply for online updates as well, so it’s advisable to complete updates in time.

Aadhaar Enrollment Charges

  • New Aadhaar registration is completely FREE
  • No charges should be paid for first-time enrollment

Important Things to Keep in Mind

  • Always carry valid and original documents
  • Provide an active mobile number for OTP verification
  • Collect and keep the acknowledgement slip after update
  • Avoid agents asking for extra charges

Why Updating Aadhaar Is Important

Aadhaar is essential for:

  • Banking services
  • Government schemes
  • Identity verification

Incorrect or outdated details can cause delays or rejection in important services.

Final Takeaway

Updating your Aadhaar is simple and affordable if you follow the official guidelines. Most updates cost just ₹75, while biometric updates cost ₹125, and online updates are currently free until mid-June 2026.

Stay informed, avoid overpaying, and ensure your Aadhaar details are always accurate to avoid future hassles.
