Have you recently moved to a new city or changed your address? If so, it’s important to update your Aadhar card to reflect your new details. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is urging citizens, especially those who have received their Aadhar cards over ten years ago to check and update their information. If you need to update your Aadhaar details, like your name, address, or date of birth, now’s your chance to do it for free and without leaving your home.

Why is it important to update your Aadhaar before December 14, 2024?

The UIDAI advises updating your Aadhaar details if it’s been more than 10 years since your last update.
