Aadhaar Card Update: Today, the Aadhaar card is not just an identity card, but has become the most important pillar of our digital and financial identity. But did you know that due to the strict regulations of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), there is a strict limit on updating certain information in the Aadhaar card? Some information in the Aadhaar card can be updated only once in a lifetime. Therefore, a small mistake or typo can significantly hinder the future benefits of government schemes and bank-related transactions. In this context, let's learn about such details that cannot be updated more than once.
1. Date of Birth
If the date of birth on your Aadhaar card is incorrect, it can be updated only once in a lifetime. This requires the necessary documents, such as a certificate or passport. For your information, a second update request is generally not accepted unless a special circumstance can be proven and the process is completed.
2. Gender
Gender information on the Aadhaar card can only be changed once in a lifetime. Any changes require submitting a government ID, medical/legal document, or relevant proof to prove your identity and correctness. UIDAI accepts such changes only if the documents you provide are completely clear and the information can be accurately matched.
How many times can a name be changed?
According to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the name on the Aadhaar card can only be changed twice. This rule has been put in place to prevent misuse of the database. Minor errors, including the spelling of "neem," can be corrected within these two changes.
