 Aadhaar Update Fees Revised: Big Relief for Kids, New Rates for Adults – UIDAI’s Latest Move

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has rolled out a game-changing update to Aadhaar card fees, bringing massive relief to parents and simplifying the process for millions. Effective immediately, the ₹125 biometric update fee for children’s Aadhaar cards has been waived for one full year. This means parents can now update fingerprints, iris scans, or facial recognition for kids under 18 completely free until the waiver expires.

 

For adults, UIDAI has introduced revised, streamlined charges:

- ₹75 for updating name, date of birth, address, or mobile number

- ₹125 for biometric updates (fingerprint or iris scan)

This is a sharp reduction from earlier rates, especially for biometric changes, making Aadhaar maintenance more affordable.

Online Updates Just Got Easier

One of the biggest wins? Basic details like name, address, and mobile number can now be updated online through the official myAadhaar portal — without uploading any documents. Just log in with your Aadhaar number, verify via OTP, make changes, and you’re done. No more long queues or paperwork for simple edits.

Why This Matters for You

With over 1.3 billion Aadhaar cards in circulation, even small fee changes impact crores of Indians. The child biometric waiver is a boon for growing families — kids’ biometrics change rapidly, and earlier fees often delayed updates. Now, parents can keep records accurate without financial stress.

For adults, the ₹75 flat fee for demographic updates encourages timely corrections, reducing errors in banking, subsidies, and government schemes.

How to Update Your Aadhaar (Step-by-Step)

1. Visit [myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in](https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in)

2. Login with Aadhaar number + OTP

3. Select “Document Update” or “Biometric Update”

4. Make changes → Pay fee (if applicable)

5. Book slot at nearest Aadhaar center (for biometrics)

Biometric updates still require an in-person visit, but demographic changes are fully digital.

Final Word: Act Before the Waiver Ends

If your child needs a biometric refresh, do it now — the free window won’t last forever. Adults, don’t delay address or mobile updates; ₹75 is a small price for peace of mind.

Stay updated with authentic UIDAI notifications. Avoid middlemen. Your Aadhaar, your control.
