In India, various documents are essential for different tasks, including the Aadhaar card, which has become a vital identity document. It is used for everything from obtaining a birth certificate to a death certificate, and about 90% of Indians now possess an Aadhaar card. However, mistakes can occur, making it necessary to correct them promptly. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced new processes to simplify updating Aadhaar information, allowing you to do it from the comfort of your home. Here’s how:
Streamlined Correction Process
UIDAI has revamped the Aadhaar correction process, making it more accessible and user-friendly. Previously, many corrections required a visit to an Aadhaar center, but now, numerous updates can be processed online.
Introduction of New Form
A new form, Form-1, has been introduced for updating and creating Aadhaar cards. This form is specifically designed for Indian citizens aged 18 and above and includes additional options for making changes or corrections to Aadhaar details.
Forms for NRIs
For Indian citizens residing abroad, UIDAI has issued specific forms: Form-2 for those whose address is outside India and Form-3 for individuals whose address is within India.
Enhanced Accessibility
These new processes are part of UIDAI's ongoing efforts to improve accessibility and efficiency in managing Aadhaar records. The shift toward online services reflects a growing emphasis on digital convenience and aims to enhance the overall user experience.
