The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is making it easier for people to update their Aadhaar details with the launch of a new mobile application called the e-Aadhaar App.
This upcoming app will simplify the process of making small changes—like updating your name, address, date of birth, or mobile number—without needing to visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or submit multiple physical documents.
Everything will be done digitally, making the process faster and more convenient.
According to reports, the app is expected to launch by the end of 2025 and will be available for both Android and iOS users.
A Faster and Smarter Aadhaar Update Process
The e-Aadhaar app will connect directly to verified government databases.
This means that supporting documents—such as passports, driving licences, and birth certificates—can be validated automatically.
This integration will reduce manual verification, helping users update their information more quickly and securely while lowering the chances of data errors and fraud.
With this digital approach, UIDAI aims to make Aadhaar updates as easy as using any other online government service.
UIDAI Revises Aadhaar Update Fees After Five Years
Alongside the app launch, UIDAI has also revised Aadhaar update fees for the first time in nearly five years.
The new rates took effect on October 1, 2025, and will remain valid until September 30, 2028.
Here’s a quick look at the updated fee structure:
Aadhaar Generation: Free for all residents.
Children below 5 years: Registrars will receive ₹75 per enrolment.
Children above 5 years: ₹125 per enrolment.
Biometric updates for ages 5–7 and 15–17: Free of cost.
Adults: ₹125 for biometric updates.
Demographic updates (name, address, DOB, etc.): ₹75 both online and offline.
Updating Proof of Address (PoA) or Proof of Identity (PoI): ₹75.
Aadhaar reprint: ₹40.
The next fee revision is scheduled between October 1, 2028, and September 30, 2031.
A Step Toward a More Digital India
The e-Aadhaar App is a major step in India’s ongoing digital transformation.
By removing paperwork and in-person visits, UIDAI is making Aadhaar management simpler, faster, and more transparent for millions of residents.
With this new app and updated fee structure, the entire Aadhaar ecosystem is set to become more efficient and user-friendly in the coming years.
