Aadhaar Update: In today's times, the Aadhaar card has become an essential document. It is required for banking, government schemes, and various other important tasks. Consequently, if your Aadhaar card contains errors regarding your name, address, or mobile number, it becomes imperative to get them updated. However, due to a lack of information, many people end up paying excessive amounts to get their Aadhaar details updated. Therefore, if you are planning to make any corrections to your Aadhaar card, it is crucial to be aware of the applicable fees beforehand. Let's find out how much it costs to update an Aadhaar card.

**Charges for Updating Name, Address, and Mobile Number**
According to UIDAI regulations, if you wish to update your name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile number, or email address on your Aadhaar card, you are required to pay a fee of ₹75. You can easily complete this process by visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra (Aadhaar Centre).

**Charges for Biometric Updates**
If you need to update your biometric data—such as fingerprints, iris scans (eye scanning), or your photograph—on your Aadhaar card, a fee of ₹125 is applicable. Biometric updates are mandatory for children aged 5 to 7 years. You can get these essential updates done at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra by paying the ₹125 fee.

**Rules for Document Updates**
If you wish to update your Proof of Identity and Proof of Address documents on your Aadhaar card, a fee of ₹75 will be charged if the update is performed at an Aadhaar Centre. However, if you choose to update these documents online through the 'myAadhaar' portal, the service is free of cost until June 14, 2026. Since higher fees may apply for updates requested after this date, it is advisable to complete the process in a timely manner.

**How ​​Much Does It Cost to Get a New Aadhaar Card?**
Apart from the aforementioned updates, if you are applying for an Aadhaar card for the very first time, no fee is charged. In other words, Aadhaar enrollment is completely free of cost.

**Important Points to Remember When Updating**
Always carry the correct and valid supporting documents with you.
When updating your mobile number, ensure you provide the specific number that you actively use. After the update, you will receive an acknowledgement slip; please keep it safe.

If your Aadhaar is not updated, get it rectified as soon as possible to avoid facing any difficulties in your future dealings.
