UIDAI advises updating Aadhaar every five years, no expiry date
The Story in Brief
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has clarified that Aadhaar cards have no expiry date, but it has advised people of all age groups to update their details once every five years. UIDAI Nizamabad district operations manager Lakavath Suresh told Deccan Chronicle that while the card does not expire, regular updates of biometric and iris information are necessary to keep records current.
UIDAI is organising awareness programmes in educational institutions and other locations to educate people about Aadhaar services. Suresh also urged parents to enrol newborn children for Aadhaar and advised finalising a child's name before birth, as providing a name is compulsory during enrolment. Citizens were encouraged to visit Aadhaar Seva Kendras for assistance.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Deccan Chronicle and Siasat present uniform straight reporting of the UIDAI advisory. Each leads with the same core facts: no expiry date, the five-year update recommendation, and the official urging newborn enrolment. The coverage is identical in substance and tone, differing only in byline and minor phrasing. The implication is that the UIDAI is proactively managing public expectations about Aadhaar validity while pushing for data accuracy. Readers can take the advisory at face value as a routine administrative update.
