​Update Aadhaar details for free​

Aadhaar serves as a crucial identity document for citizens across the nation, containing essential information like name, address, photograph, biometric data, and other pertinent details. Recognized widely across governmental and non-governmental sectors, it is essential to keep Aadhaar information updated, including the photograph and address. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) offers the option to modify specific details on Aadhaar online, albeit with a fee. As part of the Digital India initiative, the government has introduced a provision allowing citizens to update certain details on their Aadhaar card free of charge, accessible through the myAadhaar portal. If you're planning to update your Aadhaar details, the following information offers a comprehensive guide to help you through the process.

Aadhaar cardholders can avail themselves of the complimentary updating service via the myAadhaar portal, accessible at https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/.

Aadhaar update is free only if you do it online​

Updating Aadhaar details is free exclusively through the e-Aadhaar portal. Nevertheless, physical Aadhaar centers will continue to levy a fee of Rs 50 for the same service.

Starting March 15, Aadhaar cardholders will need to pay Rs 50 for each change or update made to their Aadhaar details. This fee is applicable when updating Aadhaar at any Aadhaar center as well.
