Aadhaar Card Update Deadline Extended: What You Need to Know

Aadhaar Card Update – UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has recently extended the deadline for updating Aadhaar cards online until June 14, 2024. Residents now have approximately one and a half months to update their Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA) documents free of charge.

Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number issued to Indian residents to access government services and conduct financial transactions securely. Maintaining the Aadhaar Card updated ensures that the system remains current and enables it to detect fraudulent activities and prevent duplication.

Who needs an Aadhaar Card Update?

The 2016 Aadhaar Enrollment and Update Regulations require individuals to update their POI and POA documents every ten years and update a child’s biometric information on their Blue Aadhaar card between the ages of 5 and 15.

A notable feature is the ability to update your Demographic information online for free, which includes Name, Address, Date of Birth/Age, Gender, Mobile Number, Email Address, Relationship Status, and Consent to Share Information.
