UIDAI Revises Aadhaar Name Correction Rules and Update Procedures in 2026
UIDAI updated its Aadhaar name correction rules with a new Standard Operating Procedure effective September 18, 2026. The SOP categorizes name changes into minor corrections, data-entry errors, marital changes, regional-language errors, and major changes, each requiring specific documents like affidavits or Gazette notifications. Updates must be done in person at Aadhaar Enrolment Centres or Seva Kendras, with a Rs 75 fee applicable for demographic updates. Online name changes remain unsupported, while document verification ensures authenticity.
