The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has mandated revalidation of such Aadhaar cards, requiring both proof of identity and proof of address. The deadline for revalidation was set as September 14, 2024. However, the UIDAI has now extended this deadline till December 14, 2024.
Introduced on January 28, 2009, the Aadhaar card has become one of India’s most essential identification documents.
