Kohima, November 22 (MTNews): Residents who received their Aadhaar card ten years ago and have never updated their documents since then have been asked to update their documents, according to a DIPR report.
Over the last decade, the Aadhaar number has emerged as proof of identity for Indian residents. Aadhaar numbers are used to avail several government programs and services. And therefore, residents have been encouraged to keep their Aadhaar data up to date with the most recent personal details in order to avoid delays in Aadhaar authentication/verification.
According to the report, keeping Aadhaar documents up to date helps in ease of living, better service delivery, and enables accurate authentication.
As a result, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made document updates available to residents, allowing Aadhaar number holders to update their Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA) documents in their Aadhaar through the ‘my aadhaar’ online portal (https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/) for a fee of Rs. 25 or by visiting any nearest Aadhaar enrolment centre by paying a fee of Rs. 50.
It was also stated that residents can go to www.uidai.gov.in to find the list of acceptable supporting documents or to find the nearest center.
