How to Update Your Husband’s Name on Aadhaar

Kokila Chokkanathan
If you’ve changed your marital status and want your Aadhaar to show your husband’s name instead of your father’s, you can do this either online (with limitations) or offline at an Aadhaar Enrollment/Update center.

1. Gather the Required Documents

To update your name, you need supporting documents that prove your marriage. Some accepted documents include:

· Marriage Certificate

· Passport (showing the married name)

· Gazette Notification (if you changed your name legally)

· Bank Passbook or PAN Card (if already updated with your husband’s name)

Ensure your documents have your new name exactly as you want it to appear on Aadhaar.

2. Update Name Online (Optional)

You can update your name online via the UIDAI Self service Update Portal (SSUP):

1. Visit the official uidai website: https://resident.uidai.gov.in

2. Login with your Aadhaar number and OTP sent to your registered mobile.

3. Select “Update Demographics” → Name.

4. Upload a scanned copy of the supporting document (marriage certificate, passport, etc.).

5. Submit the request and note the Update Request Number (URN) for tracking.

Important: Online updates require your mobile number to be linked with Aadhaar.

3. Update Name Offline (Aadhaar Center)

If you prefer, you can update your Aadhaar in person at an Aadhaar Enrollment/Update Center:

1. Locate the nearest center via UIDAI: https://appointments.uidai.gov.in

2. Visit the center with:

o Original documents for verification

o Your Aadhaar card

o A photocopy of supporting documents

3. Fill out the Aadhaar Correction Form requesting the name change.

4. Submit the form and documents to the executive.

5. You will receive an acknowledgment slip with a URN to track your update.

4. Track Your Update Request

· Use the URN on UIDAI’s portal: https://resident.uidai.gov.in/

· Updates usually take 7–15 days to reflect in Aadhaar.

5. Additional Tips

· Make sure your married name matches other official documents (bank account, PAN card, passport) to avoid inconsistencies.

· If you have changed your mobile number, update it first, as OTP verification is mandatory.

· Always keep the acknowledgment slip until your Aadhaar is updated.
