Last year, the Unique Identification Authority of India, also known as UIDAI, announced that Aadhaar cardholders will be able to update their information for free until June 14, 2025.
According to the Aadhaar Enrolment and Update regulations, 2016, it is mandatory for individuals to update their proof of identity and proof of address every 10 years from their Aadhaar enrolment date. After the deadline, Aadhaar updates won’t be free, and cardholders will have to mark their presence at physical Aadhaar centres to update their information.

4. From the drop-down menu, choose the documents you want to update and upload the corresponding files.
5. Once done, review and submit your documents to get a Service Request Number (SRN), which helps track the update progress of your request.
One thing to note here is that the website only supports JPEG, PNG and PDF files. Also, the size of these files should be less than 2MB in size. In case you want to update other information like photo and biometrics, the only way to do so is by visiting the nearest Aadhaar Enrolment Centre.
