In a significant announcement by the Centre, the deadline for updating Aadhaar details has been extended to June 14, 2024. Originally set for March 14, this extension provides a reprieve for individuals needing to update their information.
Extended Deadline for Hassle-Free Updates
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made the process of updating Aadhaar details more accessible by extending the deadline to June 14, 2024. This extension applies to the free online document upload facility available exclusively on the myaadhaar portal. It’s a perfect opportunity for those who haven’t updated their details yet or have recently changed their address or other vital information.
Documents You Can Submit
Updating your Aadhaar details requires certain documents, depending on what you need to update. For both identity and address verification, acceptable documents include the ration card, voter identity card, government-issued identity cards with an address, and the Indian passport.
For identity proof alone, you can use a PAN card, driving license, secondary or senior school certificates with a photograph, and certain government-issued identity certificates. To prove your address, recent utility bills, bank or post office passbooks, and rent agreements are valid. The UIDAI provides a detailed list on the myaadhaar portal, making it easier for individuals to gather the necessary documentation.
How to Update Your Details
You have two options for submitting your documents: online through the myAadhaar portal or by visiting any Aadhaar center. For those opting for the online method, a step-by-step procedure is available at the myAadhaar link provided by UIDAI. This flexibility ensures that everyone can update their details in a manner most convenient for them, without the need to physically visit a center unless they prefer or require assistance.
Remember, updating your Aadhaar is not just about compliance; it’s about ensuring that your identity and address records are accurate and secure. So, take advantage of this extension and make sure your Aadhaar details reflect your current status accurately.
