Aadhaar Card Update: Today, the Aadhaar card has become an extremely important document. If you don’t have an Aadhaar card, many of your tasks can get stalled. You also won’t be able to avail of any government schemes. It is used almost everywhere. Even a small change in the Aadhaar card affects all the people in the country.
The year 2025 proved to be very important for the Aadhaar system. This year, the government and the Aadhaar issuing authority have made it much safer. It has also been made more digital. The purpose of these government decisions is to make services even easier. Changes have also been made to the fees. A new mobile app has also been launched, through which many important tasks can be done from home.
Two major changes related to Aadhaar cards in 2025
Changes in Fees
The first major change is related to the Aadhaar card update fees. Earlier, a fee of Rs. 100 was charged for biometric updates in Aadhaar, but in 2025, this was increased to Rs. 125. Biometric updates include fingerprint, eye scanning, and photo updates. This change will affect those who have to update their Aadhaar frequently due to age or technical reasons.
In addition, the fee for demographic updates has also been increased. Earlier, updating name, address, mobile number, or other information cost Rs. 50, but now a fee of Rs. 75 has been fixed for this. According to UIDAI, this decision has been taken to improve the system and the quality of services.
Mobile App Launched
The second major change is the new and secure Aadhaar mobile app. UIDAI launched a new Aadhaar app in 2025, which has been made more secure and useful than before. The digital form of the Aadhaar card can be securely stored in this app. Now, people will not need to carry a physical Aadhaar card everywhere. This app features modern security features that keep personal information safe. Aadhaar verification can be done instantly via QR code. This significantly reduces the risk of identity theft and fraud.
Facility to update mobile number from home
Another major feature has been introduced through the new Aadhaar app. Now, the mobile number linked to Aadhaar can be updated from the comfort of your home. There will be no need to visit an Aadhaar service center. Updating the mobile number through the app will save both time and money.
UIDAI has also indicated that in the future, facilities such as updating address, name, and email ID will also be introduced through this app. This will make Aadhaar-related tasks even easier and more digital.
