In a recent update, the cost of making changes to Aadhaar details—such as demographic, biometric, or document-related information—has been increased.
Aadhaar Card Update Charges Revised
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced that biometric updates required for children at certain age milestones will continue to be free of cost. However, all other Aadhaar changes will now cost more.
According to UIDAI, this revised fee structure will remain in effect until September 30, 2028, after which it will be reviewed again in the following month.
What Are the New Charges?
Updating Aadhaar details will now be more expensive.
The fee for demographic changes such as name or address has increased from ₹50 to ₹75.
The charge for biometric updates, earlier ₹100, is now ₹125.
Other Key Details
This is the first revision in Aadhaar update charges in nearly five years.
The new structure, announced by UIDAI, will remain valid until September 30, 2028, and covers all updates related to personal information, biometrics, and supporting documents after an Aadhaar card has been issued.
Updates for newborns will still be free, and the revised fees apply only to changes made after Aadhaar issuance.
Biometric updates are mandatory for children at specific ages—first at five years, then between five and seven years, and again between fifteen and seventeen years.
UIDAI has also introduced a doorstep service for individuals who cannot visit Aadhaar enrolment centres.
The home visit charge for Aadhaar enrolment or update is ₹700 (including GST).
If multiple people from the same household use the service, the first person will be charged ₹700, while each additional member will be charged ₹350.
