New Aadhaar Rules: Name Can Be Changed Only Twice, DOB Once

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

The Indian government has introduced new, stricter rules for updating Aadhaar card details. Under new UIDAI guidelines, you can now only change your name twice and your date of birth once in a lifetime, although there is no limit on address changes.

The Aadhaar card is a super important ID for every Indian citizen. You need it for everything from bank accounts and mobile SIMs to government schemes. But many cards have mistakes in the name, date of birth, or address. The government has now brought in new rules for making these changes.

UIDAI's new rules are strict. You can change your name on the Aadhaar card only two times in your entire life. For your date of birth, you get only one chance to correct it. Officials say this will stop people from misusing the system and making endless changes. Good news is, there's no limit on changing your address.

You will need some important documents to update your Aadhaar details. For a date of birth change, your birth certificate is a must. To change your address, you can use your voter ID, electricity bill, or gas bill. A passport also works. This is a big help for people who move cities for work.To make life easier, the government has also launched a new Aadhaar mobile app. With this app, you can handle some Aadhaar updates right from your home. This means no more standing in long queues at Aadhaar centres to update your mobile number, name, or address. It's a great way to save time and get things done quickly.
