• Women who changed their name after marriage: A pre-marriage DOB proof can be submitted along with acceptable evidence of the name change.

Aadhaar DOB Update: Special Documentation Requirements

Can we change the DOB on the Aadhaar card twice?

If you have already used the one permitted Aadhaar date of birth update, the UIDAI system will generally reject another standard request. In exceptional cases, you can request a correction through UIDAI's Exception Handling Process.

Step 1: Visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra and submit a fresh date of birth update request with the required supporting documents.

Step 2: The operator will process the request through the UIDAI system.

Step 3: If the system rejects the request due to the date of birth update limit being exhausted, collect the acknowledgement or rejection details.

Step 4: Raise an exception request by contacting UIDAI through help@uidai.gov.in or the toll-free helpline 1947. Attach the rejection details, Enrolment ID (EID) or Update Request Number (URN), valid Proof of Date of Birth documents, and a justification for the correction.

Step 5: The UIDAI Regional Office will examine your request and supporting documents.

Step 6: If the request is approved under the Exception Handling Process, UIDAI will permit the second date of birth update.

What Happens if the Aadhaar DOB Update Limit Is Exhausted?

If you have already exhausted the one-time Aadhaar date of birth update limit, another update cannot be completed through the normal process. You must seek approval under UIDAI's Exception Handling Process.

You should:

• Visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra and submit a fresh update request.
• Collect the acknowledgement or rejection details if the request is rejected due to the update limit.
• Contact UIDAI through help@uidai.gov.in or the toll-free helpline 1947 with the rejection details, Enrolment ID (EID) or Update Request Number (URN), supporting documents, and the reason for requesting another correction.
• Wait for the UIDAI Regional Office to review your case and decide whether to permit the update.
