Aadhaar number (only for update)if it applies
Leave blank for a new enrolment. For an update, write your 12-digit number.
Full name
Exactly as on your proof of identity, no Shri or Smt. A name can be changed only twice in a lifetime, so get it right.
Proof: Proof of identity: passport, PAN, voter ID, ration card with photo, driving licence, school certificate with photo
Common mistake: Name on the form and the proof do not match letter for letter.
Gender
Male, Female or Transgender. Can be changed only once.
Date of birth (declared or verified)
Tick "verified" only if you bring a date of birth proof; otherwise it is "declared". Date of birth can be changed only once, and only within limits.
Example:
15/01/1985Proof: Birth certificate, Class 10 marksheet, passport, pension order
Address (C/O, house, street, village, post office, district, state)
Write it the way your address proof shows it. C/O (care of) is optional for adults.
Proof: Proof of address: bank passbook, electricity, water or gas bill, ration card, rent agreement, voter ID, or a certificate from a gazetted officer, MP, MLA or village head on the UIDAI format
PIN code
6 digits.
Mobile number
A number you keep. Every Aadhaar OTP (bank, PAN, DigiLocker) goes here. Mobile changes need a centre visit, not an online form.
Emailif it applies
Optional.
Head of family or relationship details (children and those without own proof)if it applies
For a child under 5, a parent’s Aadhaar is linked. For an adult without own proof, the head of family’s Aadhaar and a document showing the relation (ration card, marriage certificate) are used.
Why forms get rejected
- Wrong form: the UIDAI form has different versions for residents above 18, children 5 to 18, children under 5 and NRIs. Ask for the right one at the centre.
- Proof document in a different spelling or older address.
- Paying a middleman: forms are free and fees are fixed by UIDAI; always take the printed acknowledgement slip.
- Children not updating biometrics at 5 and 15: the Aadhaar can stop working.
Which document proves what
| Document | Proves |
|---|---|
| Passport, PAN, voter ID, driving licence | Identity (name and photo) |
| Bank passbook, utility bill, rent agreement, ration card | Address |
| Birth certificate, Class 10 marksheet | Date of birth |
| Ration card, marriage certificate, birth certificate of the child | Relationship with head of family |
