A woman's address often changes after marriage; additionally, while the guardian's name listed before marriage is that of the father or mother, the husband's name is added as the guardian (indicated as 'Wife of') after marriage. If you wish to replace your father's name with your husband's name on your Aadhaar card, you should be aware of the rules. You can easily change the status from 'Daughter of' (D/O) to 'Wife of' (W/O) on your Aadhaar card; the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) provides a facility for this.

You can make this change either online or offline. However, certain documents are required for the process. Let us explain the details.

**Which documents are required?**

To replace the father's name with the husband's name on the Aadhaar card, a married woman must provide proof of marriage. Various documents can be submitted for this purpose:

*   Marriage certificate issued by a competent authority

*   Passport containing the husband's name

*   Ration card containing the husband's name

*   Joint bank passbook

*   Any other proof of relationship accepted by UIDAI

You can use any one of these documents; you must upload it with your application or submit a copy if applying offline. For offline applications, you can fill out the form and submit it at the office. Alternatively, you can visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or enrollment center to get this change made.

**How ​​to update online**

First, visit the UIDAI Self Service Update Portal website. Enter your Aadhaar number and log in using the OTP. After logging in, select the 'Update Aadhaar Online' option. Then, go to 'Relationship Details' and enter your husband's name correctly. Next, upload a scanned copy of the required document. Carefully verify all the information and submit the application.

Upon submission, you will receive a Service Request Number (SRN). Keep this number safe, as you can use it to track the status of your application online. The update process is usually completed within 7 to 10 days.
