UIDAI Extends Free Online Aadhaar Document Update Facility Till June 2027

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the free online Aadhaar document update facility on the myAadhaar portal until June 14, 2027, allowing users to update identity and address proofs without charges. This extension follows positive user response and aims to improve database accuracy, especially for those who enrolled years ago. The free service is limited to online updates; physical centre updates still incur fees. UIDAI also announced the upcoming retirement of the mAadhaar app, encouraging users to switch to the new Aadhaar app with enhanced features.
