Aadhaar is one of the most important identity documents in India, and keeping your details up-to-date is essential. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) periodically offers free online document-based Aadhaar address updates through the myAadhaar portal. However, other updates like name, mobile number, date of birth, and biometric information may involve charges and require visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
According to UIDAI, users can upload supporting documents for Identity and Address updates online free of cost on the myAadhaar portal till 14 June 2026. This free facility is applicable only for document-based updates such as correcting or updating your address or identity details where relevant documents are required. However, there is currently no official announcement regarding the availability of online updates for Name, Mobile Number, or Date of Birth. These particular updates still generally require visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or authorized enrollment center for biometric verification and document validation.
