Aadhaar Card Free Update: Update Your Aadhaar for Free Until June 14..

Aadhaar Card Free Update: UIDAI has extended the facility for online document updates (POI/POA) for Aadhaar cards that are 10 years old until June 14, 2026. This facility is free of cost exclusively on the 'myAadhaar' portal, whereas a fee of ₹50 will be charged at Aadhaar Centers. Residents can update their Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA) documents, such as PAN cards or Voter IDs. If you have not updated your Aadhaar card in the last 10 years, this news is crucial for you. UIDAI has provided a special opportunity to Aadhaar cardholders; however, the deadline for this offer is June 14.

**Update Your Aadhaar for Free Until June 14**

UIDAI is facilitating online Aadhaar document updates completely free of charge until June 14. If you choose to update after this date, you will be required to pay a fee. Over a span of 10 years, your address or other personal details may change. Maintaining accurate information in your Aadhaar card offers you several benefits:

You will continue to receive the benefits of government schemes and subsidies without any interruptions.

You will face no difficulties in completing your KYC (Know Your Customer) verification at banks.

The process of obtaining a SIM card or utilizing other identity verification services will become significantly easier.

**Process for Free Aadhaar Update**
Visit the 'myAadhaar' portal and log in using your Aadhaar number and OTP.
Select the 'Document Update' option.

Upload scanned copies of your supporting documents (POI and POA) in JPEG, PNG, or PDF format (file size must be less than 2MB).
Submit the form and make a note of the Service Request Number (SRN).

Additionally, if you require an Aadhaar card for a child aged 5 years or younger—whether for school admission or any other purpose—you can easily get one issued. The Aadhaar card issued to children is known as 'Baal Aadhaar' (Child Aadhaar). UIDAI has made it mandatory for children under the age of 5 to have a Baal Aadhaar. The process for obtaining one is straightforward; you can even apply for it from the comfort of your home. A significant advantage is that obtaining a Baal Aadhaar does not require extensive documentation. A birth certificate or hospital discharge slip is required to verify the child's identity and age. An Aadhaar card belonging to one of the parents is mandatory, as the child's Aadhaar is linked to it. Additionally, proof of address must also be submitted.
