How to cancel an Aadhaar card?

To cancel or permanently surrender an Aadhaar card, you must download Form 9 from the official UIDAI website. This option is primarily available to individuals who obtained Aadhaar as children and wish to cancel it within six months of turning 18. You must fill out the form, select a regional office, and submit it in person for identity verification. For other cases, such as duplicate cards or deactivation after death, you should contact a UIDAI regional office for guidance on the omission process.
