After marriage, many women change their surname, and all their government documents must be updated with the new name. Aadhaar and PAN are two of the most important documents for identification and financial transactions in India. Thanks to digital services, these documents can now be updated from the comfort of your home, saving both time and effort. Many services are now available online, eliminating the need to stand in long queues or visit government offices.

Complete Process for Changing Your Name on PAN Card
To correct or change your name on your PAN card, you can use the NSDL or UTIITSL portal. First, visit the relevant website and go to the PAN correction or change section. Then, fill in the application form with your PAN number, date of birth, name, and contact information. After completing the application, you will receive a token or acknowledgment number, which can be used to track the status.
You will need to upload necessary documents such as proof of identity, proof of date of birth, and a marriage certificate if the name change is due to marriage. After submitting the application, you will need to pay the fee. Generally, the e-PAN update can be received via email within a few days, while the physical PAN card may take approximately two to three weeks to arrive.
The fee for online PAN correction is usually between ₹70 and ₹120, which may vary depending on the service and card delivery option.
Online Method for Changing Your Name on Aadhaar Card
To change your name on your Aadhaar card, you can use the official UIDAI website or the myAadhaar portal. First, log in using your Aadhaar number and OTP. Then, go to the update section and select the name update option.
You will need to upload documents such as proof of identity and, in case of a name change after marriage, a marriage certificate. Valid documents are required for name updates, and the name mentioned in the document should match the new name.
Online document updates may be free in many cases, while updating at a center typically costs around ₹50.

Things to keep in mind when changing your name
When updating your name, the name must be consistent across all documents; otherwise, your application may be rejected. There are also limits on how many times you can update your name in Aadhaar, and in some cases, a gazette notification may be required for further changes.
It’s essential to upload clear and properly scanned documents. Submitting incorrect or blurry documents can lead to your application being rejected, requiring you to restart the process.
