Why it is necessary to update details in Aadhaar card

India’s unique biometric-based identification system, Aadhaar number serves as a crucial identifier for every citizen. It also helps in eliminating fraudulent identities and preventing leakages.
The UIDAI has urged citizens to update their Aadhaar documents at least once every ten years. Demographic details like name, address, and date of birth can be updated online through the MyAadhaar Portal or at any Aadhaar Enrollment Center, using documents such as ration cards, voter IDs, domicile certificates, passports and passbooks.
This facility is also available to non-resident Indians (NRIs) who can update their Aadhaar details online or by visiting an Aadhaar Center whenever they are in India.
Even newborns can be enrolled for Aadhaar using their birth certificate and their parents’ Aadhaar numbers. However, their biometric data must be updated when they reach the ages of 5 and 15.
