Free Aadhaar update: In a move to facilitate smoother identification processes for citizens, the Centre has extended the deadline to update Aadhaar cards for free until September 14, 2024. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) had previously set June 14 as the last date for free updates.
Aadhaar, a crucial 12-digit unique identification number, depends on biometric and demographic data, both of which can be updated as needed. For those whose Aadhaar cards are more than ten years old and have not been updated, UIDAI recommends submitting Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA) documents for revalidation. This update aims to keep the information current, ensuring hassle-free Aadhaar-related tasks.
Free Aadhaar Updates Extended – Keep Your Information Current and Accurate
As per the Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Regulations, 2016, individuals must update their POI and POA documents every ten years from the date of their initial Aadhaar enrollment. Additionally, biometric details for children must be updated at the ages of 5 and 15 on their Blue Aadhaar card. Regular updates help maintain an accurate Aadhaar database, reflecting any changes in personal information such as address, name, or marital status.
