If the name is spelled incorrectly in your Aadhaar card, then this small mistake can create a big problem for you in the future. You may face a lot of problems in getting government jobs, financial services, government schemes, or getting admission in a school or college.
The reason for this is that Aadhaar verification is necessary for all these works, and if there is a mistake in the name, this verification fails. But there is nothing to worry about! You can solve this problem from your phone, sitting at home. Let’s know how you will be able to do this.
Correct the name mistake like this
You do not need to go anywhere to correct the spelling of the name in your Aadhaar card. You can do this work yourself by following these easy steps:
First of all, go to the official website of UIDAI, uidai.gov.in.
After visiting the portal, choose the option of ‘Update Aadhaar Details’.
Now enter your registered mobile number.
An OTP (One-Time Password) will come to your phone. Enter it and proceed.
Now, click on the ‘Digital Self-Service’ option and start the process of updating your Aadhaar information.
Select the information (such as name or date of birth) that you want to change. Fill in the spelling of the name very carefully and check it twice before confirming.
Now you have to upload a document that is proof of the correction you have made. To correct the spelling of the name, you can upload any document, like an identity card or a mark sheet.
After all the information and documents are correct, submit your request.
Keep these things in mind while updating the name
While correcting the name mistake in Aadhaar, it is very important that you take special care of some things. According to UIDAI rules, you can change the spelling of your name only twice in your lifetime.
If you are changing the name for the first or second time, fill in the details very carefully. A small mistake can cost you the opportunity to correct the mistake again, which can cause you more trouble in the future. So, fill in your information properly and upload your documents correctly so that your request is processed without any hassle.
