The cost of updating or correcting Aadhaar cards has increased as the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) raises fees for Aadhaar-related services, effective October 1.
While there is still no fee for issuing a new Aadhaar card, the fee for updating an existing Aadhaar card has gone up from Rs 50 to Rs 75. Similarly, the fee for biometric updates has been raised from Rs 100 to Rs 125, meaning an additional charge of Rs 25. This marks the first fee increase by UIDAI in nearly five years.
Updates for Aadhaar cards for newborns will remain free. The fee changes apply to updates of names, addresses, biometrics, and other details once an Aadhaar card is issued. After issuing Aadhaar cards for newborns, a biometric update is required at age five, with subsequent updates needed between ages 5 and 7 and again between 15 and 17 years.
UIDAI has provided relief for children and adolescents aged 5 to 7 and 15 to 17 years by waiving the biometric update fee, which was previously Rs 50. Despite the fee waiver, these updates remain mandatory.
The fee for updating Aadhaar details through a machine delivered to your home or convenient address remains unchanged at Rs 700. To access this service, one must email UIDAI.
