After this, you may have to pay a charge for updating.

Why is it necessary to update Aadhaar?

UIDAI, the organization that makes Aadhaar, has suggested to all the people that if it has been more than 10 years since the information in Aadhaar was updated, then it must be updated. You can update your Aadhaar card information like name, address, or date of birth for free till December 14, 2024. This process is completely online. You can easily update all the information sitting at home.

If you want to make biometric changes, then you will have to follow the offline process for that. In this, the update work for iris, fingerprint, mobile number, or photo can be done only offline. However, some changes can be done only once. This includes updates in date of birth and gender.

Download the Aadhaar update form from the UIDAI website.
Submit the form and documents at the nearest Aadhaar service center.
For biometric submission, give biometric data at the Aadhaar center.
