The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) functions under the Planning Commission of India. Aadhar collates and records the biometric data of individuals through a central database. The E-Aadhaar is a digitised edition of Aadhar card which could be downloaded online using an individual’s enrolment ID.
Pre-enrolment ID
In order to apply for Aadhaar, you have to visit an Enrolment Centre and fill the enrolment form. Post-submission of biometric data i.e. photograph, scan of all 10 fingers and Eris scan of both eyes, and provision of proof of Identity and address documents, you will receive an acknowledgement slip mentioning your Aadhaar Enrolment ID. Once you get your Aadhaar, it can also be linked to your PAN Card.
NPR Receipt
The National Population Register is the database of the identities of all Indians. The goal for national population register is mostly the same as for UIDAI, that gives out Aadhaar cards.
Full Name
Try to stick to one name and use it same across all your official documents. If you have First Name and Surname, then life is simple. If you have the name with initials then you need to choose.
Gender
If your gender has been mentioned incorrectly by mistake in your Aadhar Card, then you can change it anytime easily. When gender is not right in Aadhaar you cannot utilise it for anything since you provide this card for any purpose they might also write your gender incorrectly. For instance, if a person is male then his gender might be mentioned as female or transgender in Aadhaar and vice versa for females.
Age or Date of Birth
‘Aadhaar’ cards will henceforth bear date of birth of the holder, facilitating people to avail benefits of several government and non-governmental schemes that require age validation.
