Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the agency responsible for Aadhaar database, has a feature on its website where genuine and date verified Aadhaar enrolment and updation centres can be checked.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use UIDAI’s website to check:


Step 1: Go here: https://appointments.uidai.gov.in/easearch.aspx

Step 2: There are three methods to search for an official Aadhaar enrolment and updation centre. One is by state, the second is by pin code, and the third is by search box where one can type in the city, district, etc. Use any of the methods at your convenience.

Step 3: We have used pin code here to search the nearest Aadhaar updation centre. Type in the pin code in the appropriate column.

If you click on the ‘show only permanent centres' option, it will show you a list of permanent Aadhaar updation centre available in the area. However, do note that UIDAI also has temporary centres. If you don't click on the ‘show only permanent centres' option, it will show both temporary and permanent Aadhaar centre in an area.

Fill out the captcha and then click on the ‘Locate a Centre’ button.
