What is an Aadhar card?

Aadhaar is a unique identification card issued by the Indian government using biometric and demographic data. If your Aadhaar card was issued more than ten years ago and has not been updated then UIDAI recommends submitting Proof of Identity and Proof of Address documents to revalidate the information. This ensures that your Aadhaar details remain accurate and current.
