January 18, 2025 at 3:29 pmI am in a bit of a pickle here. So there is a minor error in my middle name in my Aadhar card (for eg. XTZ instead of XYZ), for which I have made a gazette notification and and affidavit stating that XTZ and XYZ are the same.Now, because of that mistake in my Aadhar card, every other identity proof I have like pan card and voter which is linked to my Aadhar card reflects XTZ. however my Pan card doesn’t display my middle name because I chose that option since i didnt want the wrong spelling to be displayed.
When I go to the aadhar centre to correct my name, I give them the gazette notification but they ask for a POI (my pan card) along with that and send me back saying my pan card doesn’t have my middle name so we cant process your request.
But even if i change my pan card to display my full name, it would be the same wrong spelling that my aadhar card has(XTZ). So will they send me back again saying the Pan card doesn’t have the right name (XYZ) either?
And, if i want to change my PAN name to XYZ, it asks for Aadhar card bc they are linked. It’s like a never ending loop. If i wanna change my aadhar i need my pan, but if i wanna change my pan i need my aadhar.
Please help me out i have been in and out of government offices and third party agencies countless number of times. It’s frustrating, why is every single government service so uncooperative?
and before anyone asks, i don’t have any other identity proof that shows the correct spelling, hence why i want to update my aadhar card so i can make the necessary changes in other documents.

January 18, 2025 at 5:17 pmI am not sure but i think the issue was not that they need a POI with correct name, but that your POI doesn’t match your existing aadhar card.If it was the case that your POI should show the new name then no one will be able to change their names.

January 31, 2025 at 1:12 pmOh. If they have accepted it I’m pretty hopeful it will get approved too. Btw can you specify what documents did you submit for the name change, and what was the name in those documents? -

February 19, 2025 at 12:31 pmi hope you must have scanned 3 pages , 1st page of gazz , the page on which your name change is mentioned and 3rd is old PoI. All 3 makes it complete. Quick Tip : If you dont have old poi handy in case of minors or adult , you can generate abha card ( health card ) instantly from aadhaar card otp from abha site. Its valid under Photo ID issued by central Govt / State Govt Category.-

January 31, 2025 at 8:02 amI visited the 2 only centres available in my city. The first one said, name correction is stopped since 6 months.Here’s the catch :-
I have wrong dob and an incorrect name(inclusion of middle name in aadhar) in aadhar. Every other document I have has my correct name(First name+Last Name) and date of birth.I visited the second centre, and the guy said me that he will pan card with correct name+ bank passbook to correct aadhar. I don’t have PAN card(how am I supposed to make pan card with correct name while my name is wrong in aadhar). So I asked him if he could change dob. So I gave him 10th marksheet but my application got rejected. Maybe it was due to name mismatch. Idk what to do, I am stuck. The first centre asked me to visit regional centre which is 400km+ from here

January 31, 2025 at 8:05 amHave you checked out at the post offices? Many post offices also provide aadhar update facility. You can find the list from india post website. What other documents do you have with correct name?-

January 31, 2025 at 8:16 amOkay I see so the 400km+ regional office you’re talking about is the Aadhar Seva Kendra? I seem to have thought that those 2 offices were seva kendra and regional office is something else 🫠🫠-

January 31, 2025 at 9:45 amIt is. Regional Office is a separate building dedicated to aadhar problems while seva kendra is something on a smaller scale

January 19, 2025 at 6:26 pmExactly, I did the same and if your birth certificate has wrong middle name as well then you can create new one with updated middle name and then change AADHAR. -

January 30, 2025 at 1:59 pmNowadays they started putting ALIAS in birth name correction. If your old name is X Y Z and new name is A , then corrected birth certificate would be X alias A Y Z . Please confirm this at local Bith And Death office before making any change. For Aadhaar name change ( Major ) Gazette notification is required now.-

PARTICIPANT
February 23, 2025 at 2:15 pmYes you can. As it is issued by central goverment. Use it as last resort if you dont have any id of old name probably in case of age < 5.-
