Requirement of ‘Gazette publication of name change’ for correction of name in Aadhaar, following the decision taken in the meeting held on 28.11.2025 at 01:00 PM in the Chief Secretary’s Conference Hall.
Applicants are instructed not to apply for Gazette Notification in cases of corrections in Aadhaar card such as typo mistakes, transliteration errors, regional language related name updates, marriage/divorce/adoption related name changes, append/edit initials, or change in name sequence, as these do not require Gazette publication as per UIDAI SOP (28.10.2021).
Applicants are advised to apply for Gazette Notification only in cases of full/first-name change (e.g., Pankaj Kumar → Abhinay K Singh).
