Update your Aadhaar after 10 years
UIDAI is encouraging people to keep the documents in their Aadhaar updated, especially those who have not updated their Aadhaar card for more than a decade. They can review and modify their information whenever needed. The Aadhaar number is linked to personal biometrics and serves as a unique identification for every citizen of India. The system also helps in identifying and removing fake or pseudo identities. People have been appealed to update the documents in the Aadhaar card at least once in 10 years.

These documents are necessary to update Aadhaar
One can update their details on the 'MyAadhaar' portal through documents such as ration card, voter ID card, residence certificate, passport and passbook. These documents can be submitted on the 'MyAadhaar' portal or at any Aadhaar enrolment centre. On online submission, the individual will have to log in using the one-time password received on the mobile number linked to their Aadhaar number.
NRIs can also avail this facility
UIDAI said that non-resident Indians (NRIs) can also avail this facility. NRIs can submit documents online or by visiting an Aadhaar centre while in India. According to UIDAI, newborns can also be enrolled for Aadhaar by providing “birth certificate and Aadhaar number of parents”. But, their Aadhaar biometrics should be updated between 5 to 15 years.
