UIDAI has extended the free Aadhaar card update service until 14 June 2026. Aadhaar holders can now update their details at no charge on the myAadhaar portal.

This number can be used as address and identity proof all over India. An Aadhaar card can be downloaded using an Enrolment ID as well as an Aadhaar number.
If you do not have your Aadhaar number or Enrolment ID (EID) with you, you can still get your e-Aadhaar card from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) website using your personal details such as name and date of birth.
