Aadhaar Free Document Update Deadline Extended Till June 14, 2027; UIDAI Shares Online Update Process

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline for free online Aadhaar document updates through the myAadhaar portal till June 14, 2027. The move gives Aadhaar holders another year to upload and update proof of identity and proof of address documents online without paying any fee.

According to UIDAI, the free Aadhaar document update facility, which was earlier scheduled to end in June 2026, will now continue for one more year exclusively on the official myAadhaar portal.

“It has been decided to extend the facility for one more year, i.e., from June 15, 2026, to June 14, 2027. Accordingly, the facility for document update shall continue to be free of cost till June 14, 2027,” UIDAI said in its official statement. Aadhaar Card Update Deadline Extended: UIDAI Announces New Last Date, Check Details.

3. Confirm the information if the details are correct.
4. Select the proof of identity document from the drop-down menu and upload the file in JPEG, PNG or PDF format. The file size should be below 2 MB.
5. Upload the proof of address document in the prescribed format.
6. Submit the request and save the Update Request Number (URN) for tracking purposes.

UIDAI clarified that certain Aadhaar-related changes cannot be completed online and require physical verification at an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre.

Biometric updates, including fingerprints, iris scans and photographs, must be done in person. Similarly, updates related to name, gender, mobile number and date of birth also require Aadhaar holders to visit an enrolment centre for verification.

The extension of the free Aadhaar document update facility is expected to benefit millions of Aadhaar users across India who wish to keep their records updated without incurring additional charges.
