The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline for updating Aadhaar details online until December 14, 2024. The UIDAI has asked citizens to update their Aadhaar card using free online portals by uploading verified government documents by the end of this year.
The facilities are available on the official website or portal online on myAadhaar. One can review their Aadhaar card information, particularly those who received their Aadhaar cards more than ten years ago and haven't made any updates. Nevertheless, it is not obligatory to make these updates.
"UIDAI extends free online document upload facility till 14th December 2024; to benefit millions of Aadhaar Number Holders. This free service is available only on myAadhaar portal. UIDAI has been encouraging people to keep documents updated in their Aadhaar," UIDAI posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Adhaar car holders can update their address by submitting valid documents or Identity proof and proof of address like the electricity bill of their own house or flat. The service is free if you have not updated your address in the last 10 years after making your Adhaar. However, to update certain biometric details, like photo, name and mobile number, you will need to visit the nearest Adhaar centre.
