New Delhi: A major piece of good news has arrived for Aadhaar cardholders today. The deadline for updating Aadhaar cards that are 10 years old has been extended, allowing holders to update their Aadhaar for free until June 14, 2025. Earlier, the deadline was set for December 14, 2024, but now it has been extended by an additional seven months, giving citizens more time to update their Aadhaar cards for free.

UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) shared this update on the platform X, announcing the extension of the free update service. This free service is available exclusively on the #myAadhaar portal, and individuals can easily avail this online facility without any hassle. Previously, today was the last day to avail the free update service.

How to Update Aadhaar Card for Free Online
To update your Aadhaar card for free, follow these steps:

  • Visit the official UIDAI website and go to the Aadhaar Self-Service Portal.
  • Log in using your Aadhaar number, captcha, and the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
  • Review your current details in the "Document Update" section.
  • From the drop-down menu, select the correct document type and upload a scanned copy of the original documents.
  • Note down the Service Request Number, which will help you track your update process.
  • Why Is Aadhaar Card Update Important?
    In today's digital age, the Aadhaar card has become essential for a wide range of services. Whether it's enrolling your child in school or opening a bank account, the Aadhaar card is a crucial document. Moreover, without it, you might miss out on government schemes and benefits.

    For those who have created an Aadhaar card for children under 5 years of age, it is necessary to update their biometric records at least twice — once after they turn 5, and again when they reach the age of 15.
