Why is it Mandatory to Upgrade the Information On an Aadhaar Card?
India`s biometric-based identification system, the Aadhaar number plays a vital role as an identifier for every individual. It also assists in terminating fraud and preventing data from leakages.
The UIDAI has advised residents to upgrade their Aadhaar documents once every ten years. Citizens can update their name, date of birth, and address through the My Aadhaar portal or at the Aadhaar enrollment center near them. They can use documents like ration cards, voter IDs, domicile certificates, passports, and passbooks to update their data on the aadhaar portal.
Non-resident Indians can also update their Aadhaar card details online or they can visit any Aadhaar center whenever they arrive in India.
Newborn babies can also be registered by using their supporting documents such as birth certificates and their parents` aadhaar numbers. However, Their biometric information must be updated at the ages of 5 and 15 years.
