UIDAI Extends Free Document Upload Deadline for Aadhaar Updates
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline to upload documents for Aadhaar updates free of cost until December 14, 2024.

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.

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?

For example, if you change your address, it is important to update this information in your Aadhaar profile. You can do this online through the myAadhaar portal or by visiting any Aadhaar Enrolment Centre with valid proof of address (POA) documents.
