The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has partnered with Google to display authorised Aadhaar centres on Google Maps. Citizens will soon be able to locate verified centres, check available services, and access details such as timings, accessibility features, and infrastructure, making Aadhaar enrolment and updates more convenient nationwide.
In a major step towards improving accessibility, UIDAI has announced a collaboration with Google to show authorised Aadhaar centres directly on Google Maps. This initiative will allow residents to easily identify centres based on the services offered such as adult enrolment, child enrolment, or address/mobile updates.
The integration will also provide centre-specific details, including operating hours, parking availability, and divyang-friendly infrastructure. Future plans include enabling appointment booking via Google Maps, further streamlining the Aadhaar enrolment and update process.
This partnership reflects UIDAI’s commitment to enhancing citizen convenience and transparency, while leveraging Google’s mapping technology to ensure verified centres are easily accessible across India.
