To change your name on your Aadhaar card, you generally need to visit an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre. While you’ll submit a form and other identity proofs, for significant name changes or if you’ve already updated your name a couple of times, a gazette notification for name change becomes essential. This official document, also known as a gazette name change, is published by the Government of India and legally declares your new name. This gazette for Aadhaar name change acts as strong, official proof for UIDAI (the Aadhaar authority) that your name has been legally changed, helping to ensure your new name is recognized across all your official documents.
