AADHAAR Card Documents Required

UIDAI accepts several "Proof of Identity", "Proof of Address" and "Proof of Date of Birth" documents for AADHAAR card. Below you will find a nationally valid list of supported AADHAAR card documents. You will need to carry the original AADHAAR card documents to the AADHAAR card center for cross verification. Your original documents will be returned back to you immediately after verification with corresponding xerox copies at the center.


You will need just 1 document for "Proof of Identity", 1 document for "Proof of Address" and 1 document for "Proof of Date of Birth". Please take 1 xerox copy of each of the supporting AADHAAR card documents you are submitting for AADHAAR card and submit it along with the AADHAAR card application form.

Also note that you are not required to carry your photographs, as your picture will be taken right at the AADHAAR card center (the entire process is free of cost).

Small kids may not have any address proof; in that case submit your own address proof document copy for them.

I tried to change my daughter (below 3 years) name just spelling mistake and uploaded my document ( pancard ) but every time it reject because reason document mismatch. what can I do for this ? your web guide lines say children below 5 years age, the AADHAAR card will be linked to their guardian / parents. I suggest put one option like below 5 years and above 5 years for change. and below 5 years, parents document accept.. thanks.

I am a non-resident Indian with a US passport. I have a PAN card as well as an OCI card. I went to the Aadhar Card centertoday and was told that they do not accept US passport or the OCI card for identity and that I would have to go to a local MLA and get a letter from him/her stating they can vouch for my identity. Is this correct? Please suggest a path forward? Also, since I live in the US, I have a US address and a c/o address in INDIA. However, I do not have proof of address in INDIA. What are my options for this?

He currently is in India and wanted to get aadhaar card but has no address proof of India as he is residing in US. He has an indian passport with his identity, date of birth, nationality and address. Would this be sufficient to apply for AADHAAR card and if not why?
