Great news for Aadhaar holders! The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline for free online updates of Aadhaar details to June 14, 2025. This comes as a relief to millions of users who need to modify or update their Aadhaar information.
Previously, the deadline for free updates was set for December 14, 2024. This was the second extension after initial deadlines in June 2024 and September 2024. UIDAI announced the extension through its official platform on X (formerly Twitter), encouraging Aadhaar users to utilize this facility exclusively on the myAadhaar portal.
Why Updating Aadhaar is Important
Updating your Aadhaar ensures your information remains accurate, preventing issues when using it as an identification document. For children, updates are mandatory:
- First Update: After crossing 5 years of age.
- Second Update: After turning 15 years old.
Additionally, updates to biometric data (fingerprints, iris scans, and photographs) require an in-person visit to an Aadhaar Enrollment Centre.
