Yet again the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has urged old Aadhaar holders to revise back their information on the database.

The UIDAI is concerned about those Aadhaar card holders, who were issued unique identities 10 years back and who have “never” updated their records.

“Aadhaar holders need to update their unique ID records by uploading supportive documents (proof of identity and proof of address) either online through myAadhaar portal or offline by visiting the nearest Aadhaar center”, UIDAI said in a statement.

"Residents who had got their Aadhaar issued 10 years back, and have never updated after that in these years, such Aadhaar number holders are encouraged to get their documents updated," the statement said.

In the past decade, the Aadhaar number has emerged as a universally accepted proof of identity of residents in India.
