To make changes to Aadhaar’s name, gender, or date of birth beyond a specific threshold, individuals need to visit a UIDAI regional office.
“Factors Influencing Aadhaar Data Updates”
Name: You have the opportunity to change your name on the Aadhaar card twice during your lifetime. This allows for adjustments due to events such as marriage or legal name changes.
Gender: You can update your gender on the Aadhaar card once during your lifetime.
Date of Birth: Typically, your date of birth should remain unchanged. If you made an error during enrollment, you can correct it once. Due to the importance of this information, we require robust supporting documents for the update.
Address: Unlike name and date of birth, there’s no restriction on updating your address on your Aadhaar card. Maintaining your current address facilitates the seamless delivery of crucial documents and communication as you relocate.
“Procedure for Exceptional Aadhaar Updates”
Users must visit an Aadhaar enrolment center to update their name, date of birth, or gender.
If the maximum update limit for Aadhaar details is reached, individuals can submit a request to the enrollment center through email, mail, or the UIDAI regional office.
The requester must provide the reason along with a copy of the URN slip, Aadhaar details, and supporting documents for the change.
The regional office investigates the person who requested changes in Aadhaar details for verification purposes.
After verification by the regional office, a request for processing and reprocessing will be forwarded.
