Have you heard about the new rules for Aadhaar cards? The Unique Identification Authority of India, or UIDAI, has made a new list of documents for updating or getting a new Aadhaar. This list works for the year 2025-26.
Remember, each person can have just one Aadhaar number. If someone gets more than one by mistake, only the first one counts as real. The first Aadhaar made with your fingerprints or eye scan stays active.
These papers help check your name, home address, birthday, and other info. Let’s look at them closely. It makes things easy like checking a list before a trip.
Documents Required for Verification
You need different papers for different checks. They prove who you are and where you live. Let’s break it down.
Proof of Identity (PoI)
To show who you are, use a PAN card or Voter ID. A Driving License works too. Any photo ID from the government is okay.
Think of it as showing your face with a trusted card. It keeps things safe. You feel good knowing it’s simple.
Proof of Address (PoA)
For your home address, bring utility bills like electric or water bills. A bank passbook or ration card is fine. Papers from government home plans count too.
It’s like telling where your house is with proof. No guesswork here. Everyone needs a clear address.
Proof of Date of Birth (DoB)
To fix your birthday, use a Birth Certificate. A Passport or SSLC certificate helps. These show your real age.
Why is age important? It matches your life story. Keep it right for no problems later.
Proof of Relationship (PoR)
To show family ties, use a Ration Card. An MGNREGA Job Card or Birth Certificate with parents’ names works. It links you to your family.
Like a family tree on paper. It helps in many ways. Feel connected with these docs.
