Aadhar Card Free Update: Deadline Extended Till June 14; Know Online and Offline Procedures

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline for the free online document upload facility until June 14, 2024. This extension comes as part of UIDAI's ongoing efforts to encourage Aadhaar holders to keep their documents updated, ensuring accurate demographic details. The free service is exclusively available on the #myAadhaar portal.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), UIDAI posted, "#UIDAI extends free online document upload facility till 14th June 2024; to benefit millions of Aadhaar holders. This free service is available only on the #myAadhaar portal. UIDAI has been encouraging people to keep documents updated in their #Aadhaar."

Originally, UIDAI had set March 14, 2024, as the deadline for the complimentary updation of Aadhaar Card documents. With this recent extension, individuals now have until June 14, 2024, to update their documents for free on the mAadhaar portal. Notably, this extension marks the second one provided by UIDAI, following the initial deadline of December 15, 2023.
