The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has urged Aadhaar card holders to update their card with the required documents at least once in a decade from their enrollment date.
This process to update the Aadhaar card with the supported document is significant as it ensures accurate data is recorded in the database.
The Good News
For this purpose, the UIDAI has initiated a free updation of the Aadhaar card documents facility for Indians.
Residents can update and upload the documents of identity proof and address proof to revalidate their demographic details, especially if the Aadhaar is issued 10 years ago and the details are not updated since.
Citizens can now update their Aadhaar card documents at zero cost until September 30, an extension was given from the previous deadline of June 14.
