Free Aadhaar update

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced an extension to its free online Aadhaar document update service. The move aims to help people keep their Aadhaar details accurate and up to date. It comes at a time when many Aadhaar holders need to update their documents due to marriage, relocation, or other life events. The free service, available exclusively on the myAadhaar portal, makes it convenient for people to submit documents from their smartphones or computers.

UIDAI has extended the deadline for free Aadhaar document update from 14 June 2025 to 14 June 2026. According to the official announcement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), this free service is meant to “benefit millions of Aadhaar Number Holders.” The UIDAI is urging people to take advantage of this additional time to keep their documents up to date and accurate. The service can be accessed only through the myAadhaar online portal and is free of cost during this period.
