Issuance of new aadhaar card and updation of voters id

(Querist) 20 January 2025 This query is : Resolved 
Dear learned Experts,

A distant relative of my spouse who has also had a mental illness (since childhood) lost her parents 20 years ago and she is staying alone. However, we have been taking care of her and due to her health issues and constantly going out here and there and not staying at home we felt to place her in elderly care and the elderly care institution too agreed to admit her subject to providing them her aadhaar card.

We got to know that she did not have an Aadhaar card, however, she had a voter's ID that was made in the year 1995, when we approached the Voter's ID office, it was informed that the voter ID was outdated and there are no records in the current voter's list as she has not voted in the last two decades causing deletion from the list. The office suggested producing any government documents or bank passbooks, birth certificate, etc to make changes to the voter ID.

To our knowledge, she has no documents except the older version voter ID which is not valid.

Also approached the Aadhaar office, and they also suggested that an updated voter ID is mandatory.

I look forward to seeking your guidance in this matter, please.

If an individual does not have proof of identity (PoI) and proof of address (PoA) documents, they can apply for an Aadhaar card via an Introducer. An Aadhaar introducer is a person who has been identified and notified by the UIDAI registrar or regional office. The introducer must already have an Aadhaar number and be present at the Aadhaar enrollment centre for introducer-based enrolments.
