ONLINE UPDATION OF AADHAAR

Panaji: May 26, 2026

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has advised residents to update their supporting documents at least once by submitting Proof of Identity and Proof of Address on Aadhaar on completion of 10 years from the date of Enrolment. Keeping the Aadhaar updated helps in ease of living, better service delivery, enables accurate authentication and continued accuracy of information in the Aadhaar database.

Aadhaar is a random 12 digit Unique Identification Number issued to residents to establish the resident’s unique identity which cannot be reassigned to any other individual. However, Aadhaar is mandatory especially where proof of Aadhaar is condition/ pre requisite for receipt of Government subsidy, benefit or service.

The Aadhaar Update Service can be availed at any Aadhaar Centre on payment of a normal fee of Rs. 75/- approved by the UIDAI, New Delhi. However, in order to encourage the residents to update their documents (Proof of Identity and Proof of Address) in Aadhaar, UIDAI has extended the facility of updating documents through ‘myAadhaar’ portal at https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ free of cost up to June 14, 2027.

Although, Aadhaar Document Update is not mandatory it is a preferred procedure in order to have the Aadhaar card up to date.
