Suvidha Centre daily receive around 10 applicants for Aadhaar cards. These applicants already have their Aadhaar cards but apply for new ones as they have shifted residence or got married. However the Unique Identification Authority of India does not issue two Aadhaar cards to the same person. They can simply get it reissued with amended details.
Charanjit Singh, District Coordinator of the UID Authority, Ludhiana, said: “If anyone shifts his residence or gets married, he or she need not to apply for a new Aadhaar card. The changed address or any other change can be carried out in the already issued UID number by just filling in a form.”
Such applicants can fill in a form at the UID counter at Suvidha Centre and pay a fee of Rs 15 for making the required changes. The applicant will be photographed again at the counter and his biometric finger prints are taken afresh. After that he is issued his amended Aadhaar.
The official said: “Now, whenever any applicant comes to us, we first ask him if he had already got one or is applying for the second time due to changes in his Aadhaar details.”
Visit UID centre in case you lose card
“In case a person loses his Aadhaar card or does not receive it by mail, he or she need not apply for a fresh one. The person concerned should come to us and give us his registered cell number or show his enrolment slip. The UID centre staff assist persons in getting to know the status of their Aadhaar cards and reissuing Aadhaar to those who have lost theirs cards. But an applicant has to personally visit the UID centre.
