Do you need to update your Aadhaar card? If your Aadhaar was issued over 10 years ago, you now have a limited-time opportunity to update your details online for free. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has allowed citizens to update their Aadhaar documents without any fee—but only till June 14, 2025.
After this deadline, a fee will be charged for all updates.

At Aadhaar Enrollment Centres: ₹50 per demographic update (e.g. name, address)
