If you have not yet updated your Aadhaar card information, then hurry up, because the Deadline to update the Aadhaar card by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is ending on 14 June 2025. After this date, you have to pay a fee for updating Aadhaar.
What is the facility of free update?
UIDAI had given relief to the card holders who made their Aadhaar card 10 years ago or more. Such people can update their names, date of birth, address and other details for free. But this feature is available only on the Myaadhaar portal (https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in).
How long is the deadline?
Final deadline: 14 June 2025
Earlier this deadline was 14 December 2024, which was extended to 6 months till June 2025.
Now the possibility of extending it further is very low.
Fee will be charged after deadline
If you want to make a change in Aadhaar after June 14, then for this you will have to pay a charge of ₹ 50 fixed by UIDAI.
Keep in mind, if you have to update biometric details (such as fingerprint, iris), for this you have to go to Aadhaar Seva Kendra and pay the prescribed fee there.
Why is it necessary to update Aadhaar?
Benefits of government schemes – Aadhaar is mandatory for many schemes.
Prevention of duplicate and fake identity – Aadhaar is biometric based and cannot be repeated.
Data security – OTP or documents do not reach OTP or documents many times from old or wrong addresses, name or date of birth, which causes trouble.
Help in KYC updates – The correct information is necessary for bank, mobile, gas subsidy etc.
How to update Aadhaar for free?
Go to UIDAI’s website.
Click on the “My Aadhaar” section.
Select the option “Update Aadhaar Details (Online)” or “Document Update”.
Fill your Aadhaar number and captcha code.
Click on “Send OTP” and enter the OTP sent to the registered mobile number.

After sending the update, you will get a URN (update request number) so that you can check the status.
Keep important things in mind

The mobile number should be already registered, only then OTP will come.
Only a document based update can be done for free, you have to go to the service center for biometric updates.
