Personal Details Correction

When your records disagree, the fix is knowing which document to correct first and what proof each authority accepts.

Overview

What is Personal Details Correction?

A misspelt name, a wrong date of birth or an old address leads to failed KYC, rejected verifications and delayed applications. Each record is corrected with its own authority: Aadhaar with UIDAI, PAN through the Income Tax Department's PAN service providers, passports through Passport Seva, and voter ID with the Election Commission using Form 8.

Who it's for

Who needs it

Anyone failing KYC

Where a bank, broker or employer has flagged a mismatch between your documents.

People who have moved

Updating the address on Aadhaar, voter ID and other records after relocating.

Anyone with an error on an ID

A spelling, date of birth or gender mistake that needs correcting at the source.

People with a new name

Carrying a name changed by marriage or gazette notification across every record.

Eligibility & requirements

Aadhaar: name can be updated twice, and date of birth and gender once, in a lifetime
Aadhaar address updates have no fixed limit
PAN: corrected through a change request with a PAN service provider
Passport: changes to personal particulars need a re-issue application
Voter ID: Form 8 corrects entries or records a shift of residence
Every correction needs documentary proof of the correct detail

Why is it needed?

Most verifications now match your details across documents, so a single mismatch can hold up a bank account, a loan, a job offer or a visa. Correcting them in the right sequence, against the right proof, means you do it once rather than again and again.

Documents

Documents Required

The document being corrected — Aadhaar, PAN, passport or voter ID
Proof of identity showing the correct detail
Proof of date of birth, such as a birth certificate
Proof of address, for an address update
Gazette notification or marriage certificate, for a change of name
Recent passport-size photograph, where the form needs one

Process & timeline

How we get it done

1

Mismatch review

We compare your documents and identify which record is wrong and which proof supports the correct detail.

2

Correction plan

We set the order to correct them in, so each update can rely on the one before it.

3

Applications prepared

Forms are completed and proofs checked against what each authority accepts.

4

Submission and appointments

Online requests are filed. Where you must attend in person or approve by OTP, we guide you through it.

5

Corrected documents

Each application is followed until the corrected document is issued.

Why Clikdocs

Why work with us

Every record reviewed together

We look at all your documents at once, not one form at a time, so a fix does not create a new mismatch.

The right proof, first time

Aadhaar allows only a limited number of changes, so proof is checked before anything is submitted.

Clear about what only you can do

Where an authority needs you in person or by OTP, we say so plainly and prepare you, rather than promising a shortcut.

Followed to the finish

Each application is tracked until the corrected document is in your hands.
