Aadhar Card Update: Last Date Sept 14 – Step by Step procedure to update Aadhar Card

The last date for Aadhar Card which has been issued over 10 years and not updated since, will need to be updated by Sept 14, 2024. In order to revalidate your Aadhar Card, you would need to submit your ID proof and Address Proof to ensure the details already existing are correct.

The UIDAI has set a mandate that all Aadhar details remain accurate and up-to-date. After Sept 14, those who update their Aadhar details need to pay a ₹ 50 fine for any updates made later. Aadhar authentication involves submitting and verifying your Aadhar details to UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR). UIDAI will then verify the information with the one in their records.
