In addition, UIAI has made changes in the procedure for changing of name of woman after divorce and name proof for adopted children.

Similarly, when a person lives in a rented house, the power of changing the address on the Aadhar card is given to the owner of the house.

For adopted children, based on the records mentioned in the adoption letter, the details can be added in Aadhar card.

Divorced women can also change their name back to their original one without the name of husband by providing divorce documents. Date of birth change authority is also given to the head of the family.
