What is a Family Entitlement Document?
A Family Entitlement Document is an official document that establishes a relationship with the Head of Family (HoF) and can be used as a supporting document for Aadhaar enrolment or update. These documents are particularly helpful for individuals who do not possess independent identity or address proof.
Eligible Family Entitlement Documents
Only documents issued by the Central Government or State Government are considered valid for Aadhaar enrolment or update under the Proof of Relationship (POR) document category.
Here is a list of documents that qualify as Family Entitlement Documents:
| Discharge Card or Birth Certificate issued by a government hospital as proof of a child’s birth. | Certificate of Identity with a photograph and relationship to the Head of Family (HoF) issued by a Village Panchayat Head or Mukhiya. |
| Government-Issued Marriage Certificate that serves as proof of relationship between spouses. | Address Card issued by the Department of Posts containing the individual’s name and photograph. |
| Bhamashah Card, a family-based digital identity card issued by the Rajasthan government. |
These documents help individuals enrol in Aadhaar or update their existing Aadhaar details when they do not have direct identity or address proof.
