How to Change Your Name on Aadhaar and PAN After Marriage in India (Step by Step Guide)

After getting married, many women in India choose to update their surname to match their married name on official documents. Two key identity documents that should reflect this change are your Aadhaar card and PAN card. With growing digital services, you can now update these from home without waiting in queues or visiting government offices in person.

Updating Your PAN Card Name After Marriage

If you want to update your PAN card after marriage, start by heading to either the NSDL or UTIITSL portal and choosing the PAN correction or change section. Enter your existing PAN number, date of birth, your new name, and contact details in the online application form. Once completed, you will get an acknowledgment or token number to track the progress of your request.

When submitting your PAN change application, remember this key instruction:

“You will need to upload necessary documents such as proof of identity, proof of date of birth, and a marriage certificate if the name change is due to marriage.”

After submission, a fee is charged for processing. Typically, your updated e-PAN arrives via email within a few days, whereas the physical PAN card usually takes about two to three weeks to get delivered.

Changing Your Name on Aadhaar Card After Marriage

To update your name on your Aadhaar card, log in to the official UIDAI site or myAadhaar portal, use your Aadhaar number and an OTP sent to your registered mobile, and navigate to the name update section.
