STEP 2: Fill the Enrolment form with your details. The form is also available online at https://uidai.gov.in/images/aadhaar_enrolment_correction_form_version_2.1.pdf. You'll be required to provide proof of identity and the proof of address along with the form. Some of the proofs of identity and address are Ration card, election photo ID card, passport, driving license, PAN card, and Govt ID cards. For address proof, you can also include water bills and other utility bills from the last three months. If you don't have the mentioned proofs, then Certificate of Identify with photo issued by Gazetted Officer/Tehsildar on their letterhead will also be accepted as a proof of identity. As proof of address, even a Certificate of Address having a photo that's issued by MP or MLA /Gazetted Officer/Tehsildar on the letterhead or by Village Panchayat head or its equivalent authority (for rural areas) will be accepted.
