Aadhaar Card Free Update Last Date Extended, Check Deadline, How To Make Changes Through Portal

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) in a memorandum announced that the deadline for the free updation of Aadhaar card details through the myAadhaar portal has been extended till March 14, 2024.

"Based on the positive response from the residents, it is decided to extend the facility for 3 more months i.e. from 15.12.2023 to 14.03.2024. Accordingly, the facility for document update shall continue to be free of cost through myAadhaar portal," the official notice read.

However, the service can only be availed free on the myAadhaar portal while one has to pay a nominal fee of Rs 50 at physical Aashaar card centres to get their details updated.

UIDAI has been urging people to update their Aadhaar details if they have not done so in the past 10 years. The initiative is being conducted to lessen fraud related to the identity card.

“Please update your Aadhaar for continued accuracy of demographic information,” the UIDAI on their website urged.

Through the online Aadhar card portal, one can update name, address, date of birth, gender, phone number, and email ID.

Any biometric information including photos and iris can be updated only at physical Aadhaar centres.
