originally my name in all documents (Adhaar, School and college certificates) did not have surname. Later I added surname to my name and got all the process done (affidavit, newspaper ad etc) and got surname added to my name in Passport, Pan, DL.

How can I add surname to my name in my adhaar card. What’s the process and what all documents will I need? Adhaar only has my first name.

How long does it take to issue a new revised adhaar? Will I face any issues with this?

Please help as my bank accounts are having problems due to mismatch in adhaar and other supporting documents.

Thank you

You can apply for change of name in UIDAI site, but keep in mind that you can only do this once. You’ll be charged 50 rupees including postage. I’ve received it within 2 months of applying.

I read somewhere online that it cannot be done online. Someone is saying I need to go to assistant commissioner office for this

I’m still not sure where I should go because Im getting different information.

Yes did that. Thanks. Surprisingly there are no slots for the next 20 days wtf. I thought I’d get maybe 2-3 days later.

Name can be edited twice in a life time,
Change it by visiting the adhaar seva kendra.
Produce passport or marks lists with correct name to correct your adhaar’s name.
