UIDAI Revises Aadhaar Name Change Rules with New Document Requirements
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has updated its Standard Operating Procedure for Aadhaar name changes, distinguishing between minor corrections and major changes. Minor updates, such as spelling corrections, name sequence changes, or adding/removing middle or last names, require valid Proof of Identity documents. Major changes, including complete identity changes, need a Gazette notification. The revised process also addresses name changes due to marriage or divorce and corrects enrolment errors, specifying distinct document and affidavit requirements for each case.
