Is your Aadhaar update request got rejected for invalid documents? Know what does this mean

The Aadhaar card, which is a 12 digit individual identity number and given to every Indian including children and infants, issued by Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

Aadhaar card enables identification for every Indian resident and establishes uniqueness of every individual on the basis of demographic and biometric information.

As Aadhaar card is one of the most important documents, it is essential to maintain the information on this page up to date.

The UIDAI has recommended everyone to update their supporting documentation in Aadhaar at least once every 10 years from the date of enrollment.

The UIDAI has launched service for free updation of Aadhaar Card documents under which people can freely update their documents (only on the portal – myAadhaa). The deadline for free updating of Aadhaar Card documents was June 14. But now it has been extended till September 30.

However, some people’s Aadhaar update request gets rejected for invalid documents. In such case they should keep the following things in mind:

• The document you use for Online Address Update should be:
• Valid document as per the UIDAI (visit the official website – https://uidai.gov.in)
• The document uploaded is in the name of the resident.
• Image uploaded should be clear and colored scan of original document.
• Ensure that you follow the above before you create a new update request.
