Do you have an Aadhaar card? Then quickly update your Aadhaar card documents online. UIDAI is providing this service completely free of charge for citizens. You can easily update your documents online from the comfort of your home using your mobile phone. You can update your Aadhaar card documents online completely free of charge until December 24, 2026.
However, if you go to an Aadhaar center to update your documents, you will have to pay a charge of 75 rupees. But you can do the same thing yourself online completely free of charge. So let’s see how to update your Aadhaar card documents online for free.
Before updating documents on your Aadhaar card, it’s essential to check whether document updates are even necessary for your Aadhaar card. You can find out if document updates are mandatory for you simply by using your Aadhaar number.
The UIDAI has stated that document updates are necessary, especially for those whose Aadhaar cards are 10 years old and who have never updated any information such as name, date of birth, or address.
According to the UIDAI, this document update will make service access easier, ensure improved service delivery, and increase the success rate of identity verification (authentication).
