 +
 +From 1 October 2025, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) revised what you pay to update your Aadhaar. This page gives you the exact charges in a single table, tells you which updates are still free, and shows how to do the free ones yourself online before the deadline.
 +
 +^ Update type ^ Online via myAadhaar ^ At an enrolment or update centre ^ Free? ^
 +| Document update (upload identity or address proof) | Free till 14 June 2027 | Rs 75 | Yes, online till 14 June 2027 |
 +| Address update | Free till 14 June 2027 (document-based) | Rs 75 | Yes, online till 14 June 2027 |
 +| Name, date of birth, gender (demographic) | Not allowed online for most fields | Rs 75 per update | No (unless done with a biometric update) |
 +| Mobile number or email | Not allowed online | Rs 75 | No |
 +| Biometric update (photo, fingerprints, iris) | Not allowed online | Rs 125 | No (free for children, see below) |
 +| Child biometric (MBU), age 5 to 7 and 15 to 17 | Not allowed online | Free | Yes |
 +| Child biometric (MBU), age 7 to 15 | Not allowed online | Free till 30 September 2026 | Yes, till 30 September 2026 |

 +**Direct answer:** A demographic update (name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile or email) costs **Rs 75** at a centre. A biometric update (photo, fingerprints, iris) costs **Rs 125** at a centre. Uploading identity or address documents is **free online** on the myAadhaar portal till 14 June 2027. This fee framework runs till 30 September 2028.
 +
 +===== What changed on 1 October 2025 =====
 +
 +UIDAI raised its old charges, which had stayed flat for years. Services that earlier cost Rs 50 now cost **Rs 75**, and services that cost Rs 100 now cost **Rs 125**. The revised schedule applies from 1 October 2025 and stays valid till 30 September 2028 (a fresh revision is set to begin from 1 October 2028).
 +
 +So in plain terms:
 +  * **Demographic update** (name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile, email) at a centre: **Rs 75** per update.
 +  * **Biometric update** (photograph, fingerprints, iris) at a centre: **Rs 125**.
 +  * If you update demographics **at the same time** as a biometric update, the demographic part is free; you pay only the Rs 125 biometric charge.
 +
 +These are the standard resident charges. Special home-based enrolment, where an officer visits your house, costs extra (Rs 700 including GST for the first resident and Rs 350 for each additional person at the same address), over and above the normal update charge.
 +
 +===== Which updates you can do free online =====
 +
 +The most useful saving is the **free document update** on the official myAadhaar portal. Till **14 June 2027**, you can upload a fresh proof of identity and proof of address at no cost to refresh the documents linked to your Aadhaar. The same update done at a centre costs Rs 75.
 +
 +Address changes are also document-based, so a self-service address update through myAadhaar falls under this free document-update window till 14 June 2027. UIDAI has been urging residents whose Aadhaar is more than ten years old, and who have never updated their documents, to use this free online route.
 +
 +What you **cannot** do free online:
 +  * **Biometric updates** (photo, fingerprints, iris) always need a visit to a centre. There is no online option.
 +  * **Name, date of birth, gender, mobile and email** changes are not self-service online for most residents; these are done at a centre for Rs 75.
 +
 +For more on the portal and app, see our guide to the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/aadhaar|Aadhaar services overview]].
 +
 +===== Step-by-step: update online vs at a centre =====
 +
 +**Free document update online (till 14 June 2027):**
 +  - Go to the official myAadhaar portal at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and log in with your Aadhaar number and OTP.
 +  - Choose the document update option and review the name and address already on record.
 +  - Upload a clear scan of a valid proof of identity and proof of address (see list below).
 +  - Submit and save the Update Request Number (URN) shown on screen.
 +  - Track the status with the URN on the same portal until it shows completed.
 +
 +**Paid update at an enrolment or update centre:**
 +  - Find your nearest centre using the locator on the UIDAI website.
 +  - Carry your original documents and your Aadhaar number.
 +  - Tell the operator what you want to change (demographic, biometric, or both).
 +  - Give your biometrics where needed and verify the details on screen.
 +  - Pay the fee: **Rs 75** for a demographic update or **Rs 125** for a biometric update. Collect the acknowledgement slip with your URN.
 +
 +**Documents commonly accepted** as proof of identity or address: passport, voter ID, ration card, bank passbook, electricity or water bill, registered rent agreement, or a government-issued certificate. UIDAI publishes the full accepted-document list on its site.
 +
 +===== Deadlines you must not miss =====
 +
 +  * **14 June 2027** is the last day for the **free online document update** on myAadhaar. After this date the free window may end, and the same update could cost Rs 75 at a centre. If your Aadhaar is old or your address has changed, do it now.
 +  * **30 September 2026** is the last day of the **one-year fee waiver for child biometric updates (MBU) in the 7 to 15 age band**. Children in the 5 to 7 and 15 to 17 mandatory-update windows remain free as part of normal MBU rules.
 +  * **30 September 2028** is when the current fee framework expires. Charges may be revised again from 1 October 2028.
 +
 +A Mandatory Biometric Update (MBU) is required when a child first enrolled before age five turns five, and again around age fifteen, because biometrics mature with age. Doing the MBU on time keeps the Aadhaar valid for school, scholarship and exam use. This is separate from the routine adult biometric update, which still costs Rs 125. For the child-specific process, see our [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/aadhaar|Aadhaar for children guide]].
 +
 +Keep your Aadhaar details accurate to avoid mismatch problems with banks, PAN and government schemes. If a department refuses to act on a correct request or hides its own rules, you can use the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/book|The RTI Playbook]] to file a clean information request.
 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +
 +==== How much does an Aadhaar address update cost in 2025? ====
 +An address update is a document-based update. You can do it **free online** on the myAadhaar portal till 14 June 2027 by uploading a valid proof of address. If you go to an enrolment or update centre instead, it costs **Rs 75**.
 +
 +==== What is the fee for an Aadhaar biometric update? ====
 +A biometric update (photograph, fingerprints, iris) costs **Rs 125** at an enrolment or update centre from 1 October 2025. Biometric updates cannot be done online. They are free for children in the mandatory-update age bands.
 +
 +==== Is updating documents on myAadhaar really free? ====
 +Yes. UIDAI has kept the online **document update free till 14 June 2027** on the myAadhaar portal, where you upload fresh proof of identity and proof of address. The same task done at a centre is charged Rs 75.
 +
 +==== Do children have to pay for an Aadhaar biometric update? ====
 +No. Children in the mandatory biometric update windows (around ages 5 to 7 and 15 to 17) are updated free. UIDAI has also waived the **Rs 125 biometric charge for the 7 to 15 age group for one year, till 30 September 2026**.
 +
 +==== Can I update my name or date of birth for free? ====
 +Generally no. Name, date of birth and gender changes are demographic updates done at a centre for **Rs 75** each. The demographic charge is waived only if you update these at the same time as a biometric update, when you pay only the Rs 125 biometric fee.
 +
 +===== Next steps =====
 +
 +If your address or documents are out of date, use the free myAadhaar document update before 14 June 2027. For name, date of birth or biometric changes, budget Rs 75 or Rs 125 and visit a centre. If a public authority blocks a service over an Aadhaar issue and will not explain its rule in writing, ask us through the homepage at [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/|righttoinformation.wiki]] and consider filing an RTI for the records.
