For the convenience of people, Unique Identification Authority Of India (UIDAI) has introduced a new update on its official portal. This new update allows those who have moved to a new residential address to change their address on their current Aadhaar identification by themselves easily. Through the self-service portal on the Aadhaar website, users can update these details amongst others.

These changes were announced on Aadhaar’s Twitter handle. In the tweet, Aadhaar announced that the new Aadhaar enrolment and Mandatory Biometric Update (MBU) would be provided free of charge. New Aadhaar registration is mandatory for children once they reach the age of five and again once they turn 15-years-old.

Users have the option to update their demographic data and this would come with a charge of Rs 50 for said update. When it comes to biometric update, the charges incurred will be Rs 100 for the update, whether it is with or without the previously mentioned demographic data changes.
