UIDAI Revises Aadhaar Name Correction Rules with New SOP Effective September 2026
UIDAI's revised Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), effective September 18, 2026, updates rules for Aadhaar name corrections. It categorizes changes into minor corrections, data-entry errors, marriage or divorce-related changes, and major name changes, each requiring specific documents such as affidavits, Proof of Identity, or Gazette notifications. Minor changes include spelling corrections, adding or removing names, and sequence changes. The SOP aims to verify document authenticity and streamline the update process at Aadhaar Enrolment Centres.
