Updating your Aadhaar details has become more important than ever, especially for biometric and document changes.
But many people are still confused about the charges and free services. Here is a simple breakdown.
Biometric Update Charges in Aadhaar
If you need to update your fingerprint, iris scan, or photo in Aadhaar, you may have to pay a fee of up to ₹125.
This update is useful when your old biometric data is not working properly or when children’s Aadhaar needs updating as they grow older.
For children aged 5 to 17 years, mandatory biometric updates are currently free for a limited period. However, after this period ends, the same update may become chargeable.
Document Update Charges and Free Online Option
If you want to update your identity or address proof in Aadhaar by visiting an Aadhaar center, you will need to pay ₹75 for the service.
However, there is good news. If you update your documents online through the myAadhaar portal, it is completely free for now.
This free service is available until September 30, 2026. Using the online method can help you save money and avoid extra charges.
Important Safety Tips While Updating Aadhaar
Always use official UIDAI platforms, such as the website, mobile app, or authorized Aadhaar centers for any updates.
Do not trust agents or unknown individuals for Aadhaar services, as this can lead to fraud or misuse of your personal information.
