The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline to upload documents for Aadhaar updates free of cost until December 14, 2024. Earlier, this service was set to expire on September 14, 2024. After the new deadline, citizens must pay a fee to upload documents or make changes to their Aadhaar profile.
Who Will Benefit from This Extension?
The free service extension is expected to benefit millions of Aadhaar number holders across India. This service is only available through the myAadhaar portal, and UIDAI has been urging individuals to keep their Aadhaar details updated with the correct information.
Documents Required for Aadhaar Update
If you're unsure about which documents to upload, here are some examples:
- Ration Card
- Voter ID

These documents can be uploaded through the myAadhaar portal by logging in with your Aadhaar number and the One Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number.
Why Should You Update Your Aadhaar?

You can do this online through the myAadhaar portal or by visiting any Aadhaar Enrolment Centre with valid proof of address (POA) documents.

Non-resident Indians (NRIs) can also update their Aadhaar whenever they visit India, either online or by visiting an Aadhaar Centre.
