Aadhar Card update: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced a revalidation requirement for Aadhaar cards issued over 10 years ago that have not been updated since their issuance. Aadhaar holders are required to submit proof of identity and proof of address documents by September 14 to ensure their Aadhaar details remain accurate and up-to-date. After the deadline, individuals who have not updated their Aadhaar cards will incur a Rs 50 fee for any subsequent changes.
The revalidation process for Aadhaar involves submitting your Aadhaar number along with either demographic or biometric information to the Unique Identification Authority of India's (UIDAI) Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR). UIDAI then authenticates the submitted details by cross-referencing them with its existing database to ensure accuracy. This thorough verification process confirms the correctness of your information, and upon successful verification, your details will be updated in UIDAI's records.
