In a significant update for Aadhaar Card holders, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the apex authority responsible for issuing and regulating the Aadhaar Card has once again extended the deadline for updating their information online without any charges. According to the notification, the residents can now update their Aaadhar cards without any changes until June 14, 2024. Previously, the UIDAI had set March 14, 2024, as the final date for individuals to update their Aadhaar details without incurring any charges.
The decision is part of UIDAI’s attempts to improve the accuracy and security of Aadhaar data, especially for cards that are ten years old. People are advised to take advantage of this chance before the window closes, as the deadline is quickly approaching.
With the deadline extension, you can now conveniently update your demographic information, such as name, address, date of birth/age, gender, mobile number, email address, relationship status, information sharing consent, and more, online for free. However, it’s important to note that updating details at an Aadhaar Center will entail applicable fees.
Utilizing this complimentary update service is easy to do and may be done via the official UIDAI website. Follow the below-mentioned steps to update your Aadhaar Card online for free:
Step 1: Visit the myAadhaar portal at Uidai.gov.in and choose your preferred language.
Step 2: Navigate to the ‘Document Update‘ section under the ‘My Aadhaar’ tab.

Once this process is completed, you may anticipate having your updated Aadhaar Card within seven working days.
