The ABC ID is an essential digital document that provides students with a unique 12-digit identification code, allowing them to store and manage their academic credits, including degrees, diplomas, certificates, and other educational records.
However, if you discover that your ABC ID contains incorrect information such as your Name, Date of Birth (DOB), or gender, it’s important to update these details to ensure the accuracy of your academic records.
ABC ID Update
Errors in your ABC ID often stem from inaccuracies in your Aadhaar card, as the ABC ID is created using your Aadhaar details. To correct these errors, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Update Your Aadhaar Card Information
- Visit an Aadhaar Center or UIDAI Website:
- Locate your nearest Aadhaar enrolment centre or visit the official UIDAI website.
- Submit the necessary documents and update your Name, Date of Birth, or Gender.
- Complete the biometric verification process, if required.
- Obtain an update receipt and keep it safe for future reference.
Step 2: Log In to DigiLocker
Visit the DigiLocker website – https://www.digilocker.gov.in/, or open the DigiLocker app on your smartphone. Enter your login credentials (username and password) to access your account.
Step 3: Refresh Your Aadhaar Information in DigiLocker
- Update Aadhaar Details: Navigate to the “Issued Documents” section within DigiLocker.
- Locate your Aadhaar card and click on the “Refresh” button to update the information.
- Wait for the system to synchronise the updated Aadhaar details with your DigiLocker account.
Step 4: Verify Your Updated ABC ID
- Check for Updates: Go to your DigiLocker account and locate your ABC ID under “Issued Documents.”
- Ensure that your Name, Date of Birth, and Gender are now correctly reflected on your ABC ID.
