Update your Aadhaar every 10 years

UIDAI is encouraging people to keep the documents in their Aadhaar updated, especially those who have not updated their Aadhaar card for more than a decade. They can review and modify their information if necessary. Aadhaar number is linked to personal biometrics and serves as a unique identification for every citizen of India. This system also helps in identifying and removing fake or pseudo identities. People have been appealed to update the documents in Aadhaar card at least once in 10 years.

These documents are necessary to update Aadhaar

Any person can update his/her details on the ‘MyAadhaar’ portal through documents like ration card, voter ID card, residence certificate, passport and passbook. These documents can be submitted on the ‘MyAadhaar’ portal or at any Aadhaar enrolment centre. On online submission, the person has to log in using the one-time password received on the mobile number linked to his/her Aadhaar number.

NRIs can also avail this facility

UIDAI said that non-resident Indians (NRIs) can also avail this facility. NRIs can submit documents online or by visiting an Aadhaar centre whenever they are in India. According to UIDAI, newborns can also be enrolled for Aadhaar by “providing birth certificate and Aadhaar number of parents”. But, their Aadhaar biometrics should be updated between 5 to 15 years.
