Yes, the UIDAI Standard Certificate (Annexure I) is valid for both:

  • PoI — Proof of Identity
  • PoA — Proof of Address

However, UIDAI QC rejects ~60% of these certificates due to operator mistakes.

Strict Rules to Follow

Requirement Detail
Writing style CAPITAL LETTERS only, no overwriting, no whitener
Photograph Cross-signed and cross-stamped (half on photo, half on paper)
Date of issue Not older than 3 months
Authority stamp Must include full name, designation, department, and office phone number

A single missing element in the stamp leads to immediate QC rejection.

Important scope clarification:

  • Village Panchayat Head / Mukhiya certificate → Valid for rural address updates only, NOT for name change
  • Proof of Identity → Only accepted from:
    • Gazetted Officer (Group A)
    • MP / MLA
    • Tehsildar
    • Magistrate

Never use a Panchayat Head certificate for identity proof — it will be rejected every time.
