Aadhaar PAN Passport Name Update Guidance

Aadhaar, PAN and Passport Name Update Guidance

After a legal name change or Gazette publication, the record does not update automatically in Aadhaar, PAN, passport or bank KYC. Each authority has its own process and document requirement.

Why Sequence Matters

If one record is updated incorrectly, another department may raise mismatch objections. A proper sequence helps create a clean link between old records and corrected records.

Important Documents

• Gazette notification where applicable
• Affidavit or declaration
• Old and new identity proof
• Marriage certificate or divorce order where applicable
• Address proof and photograph
