Update Your Aadhaar for Free Until June 14, 2025 — Fee Will Apply After Deadline
Aadhaar, the 12-digit unique identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), has become an essential document for every Indian citizen — whether it's for school admissions, government schemes, or job applications. And now, UIDAI is offering Aadhaar holders a limited-time opportunity to update their Aadhaar details for free — but only until June 14, 2025.
After this date, updating your Aadhaar will come at a cost. So, if your Aadhaar card has outdated information such as a wrong address, name spelling, or an old mobile number, now is the right time to make corrections without paying any fees.
Free Aadhaar Update Window Ends Soon
Earlier this year, UIDAI announced a fee waiver for Aadhaar updates to help citizens keep their identity documents accurate and up to date. This free update service is valid only until June 14, 2025.
After this deadline, any updates to your Aadhaar card — including changes to name, address, gender, date of birth, or linked mobile number — will require a standard fee of ₹50 per request.
This move is especially significant for those whose Aadhaar was issued over 10 years ago, or those whose personal details have changed due to marriage, relocation, or any other life event.
Why Aadhaar Updates Are Important
According to the Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Regulations, 2016, it is mandatory for Aadhaar holders to update their identity and address documents every 10 years from the date of initial enrolment. This ensures that the data in the Aadhaar database remains current and reliable.
This rule also applies to children with a ‘Blue Aadhaar’ — a version of Aadhaar issued to minors. When they turn 5 and 15, their biometric details must be updated at an enrolment center.
Two Ways to Update Your Aadhaar
UIDAI allows Aadhaar updates via two official methods:
-
Online Portal:
Visit https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in to update your address and certain demographic details. The portal is user-friendly and allows updates using scanned documents for verification. -
Aadhaar Enrolment Centers:
For updates like name, date of birth, gender, or biometric information, you must visit an authorized Aadhaar enrolment or update center in person. This helps ensure the authenticity of critical changes that can’t be verified online.
What Can Be Updated?
Here’s a breakdown of what you can and cannot update online:
| Information Type | Update Method |
|---|---|
| Address | Online or In-person |
| Name, Gender, DOB | Only In-person |
| Mobile Number | In-person (verification) |
| Biometric Data | Only In-person |
Final Reminder: Don’t Miss the Deadline
The last date to update your Aadhaar without paying any fee is June 14, 2025. After this, UIDAI will resume charging ₹50 per update as per standard procedure.
Keeping your Aadhaar updated is not only necessary for ensuring seamless access to government services but also helps prevent identity-related issues during verification for bank accounts, passports, or income tax filings.
Take advantage of this free update window before the deadline — and make sure your Aadhaar reflects your most accurate and current details.
