New Delhi: UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has informed that Aadhaar cards which are more than 10 years old and have not been updated since then will be required to undergo revalidation. Aadhaar holders will have to submit identity proof and address proof documents by September 14 so that their Aadhaar details are correct and up-to-date. If not updated within this time period, a fee of Rs 50 will be charged for any further changes.
Revalidation Process: What’s New?
Under the Aadhaar revalidal process, you will have to submit your Aadhaar number and demographic or biometric information to UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR). UIDAI will then verify your submitted details by cross-referencing them with its existing database. If the verification is successful, your details will be updated in UIDAI’s records.
