Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has urged the residents to keep their documents updated in Aadhaar issued 10 years back. Residents can update their Aadhaars by uploading supportive documents either online through myAadhaar portal or offline by visiting the nearest Aadhaar centre. Aadhaar number has emerged as a universally accepted proof of identity of residents in India. More than 1100 government schemes and programmes including 319 run by the central government use Aadhaar-based identification for the delivery of services.
Ministry of Electronics and IT said that it is in the interest of the residents to keep their Aadhaars updated with current proof of identity and proof of address. Keeping the documents in Aadhaar updated helps in ease of living, better service delivery, and enables accurate authentication.
