Aadhar Gazetted Form 2026 - Summary
Aadhaar Gazetted Form is a document used when a person wants to update or correct details in their Aadhaar card but does not have valid supporting documents. In such cases, a Gazetted Officer (a government official with authority) can verify and certify the person’s identity and information using this form. It helps the Aadhaar office confirm that the information provided by the applicant is true and accurate.
If you want to change your first name or full name in Aadhaar, UIDAI allows a Gazette Notification as supporting proof. UIDAI’s current guidance says you need the Gazette notification and an old Proof of Identity (POI) showing your old name. The address in the Gazette should match the address in Aadhaar.
Aadhaar Update Fee
According to UIDAI’s current information, a demographic update such as name, gender, date of birth, address, mobile number or email costs ₹75 when done separately at an Aadhaar centre.
