Aadhaar updation charges: If you need to update your Aadhaar card details, like changing your name, address, photo, or other details, you might have to pay a fee. The cost depends on what you’re updating—whether it’s your personal information, your biometrics, or both.
As per an ET report, the fee might also be different based on where you update and who provides the service. To avoid surprises, check with your Aadhaar centre beforehand to find out what you’ll need to pay.
Updating your Aadhaar card might require paying certain fees:
- Biometric updates: If you need to change your fingerprints or iris scan, the fee is Rs 100.
- Demographic updates: For changes to your name, date of birth, or address, the fee is Rs 50 at the centre.
- Combination of both: If you need to update both biometric and demographic details, you will be required to pay both fees, totalling Rs 150.
To get a printed copy of your e-Aadhaar card, you can visit an Aadhaar enrolment centre and pay a fee of Rs. 30. If you’re applying for Aadhaar for the first time, there’s no charge.
For children between the ages of 5 and 15, updating their biometric details is mandatory but is done at no cost. So, while there’s a fee for getting a printed e-Aadhaar, first-time registration and biometric updates for children are free.
