HI.. i want 2 change my name
i got my aadhar card. can i change it now??
April 23rd, 2013 at 6:29 am
My last name was initially filled in wrongly by the person who was typing it and immediately I noted it and asked him to change after spending almost half a day there. He asked me to come next day as he cant make changes immediately as it will be locked and I went the next day and got the changes done, as per the confirmation receipt I have received everything is just fine and correct but when I received the Aadhar card again I see my last name is spelt wrongly. The online correction option doesn’t work. Tell me how to go about in getting it changed.

I have taken Photograph today morning for Aadhar card in our area. There is a name field where no format is mentioned whether it should be “FIRST NAME and then SUR NAME” or “SUR NAME and then FIRST NAME” format. Could you please let me know how the name should be given/displayed in Aadhar card so that we can ensure no confusions in future.
Also mobile number and email address is not given as it is tentative to change. Is this details mandatory?
