UIDAI Offers These Six Services At Aadhaar Centres. How To Book An Appointment Online
Those looking to update six kinds of details fed into the Aadhaar database are required to visit an Aadhaar centre. For any update or correction in details such as biometric scans, address, photo, name and registered mobile number, Aadhaar enrolees are required to visit any “Aadhaar Kendra” (Aadhaar centre) with valid supporting documents in original, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said on Twitter. The UIDAI is the issuer of the 12-digit personal identification number - also known as Unique Identity Number (UID) - as well as the Aadhaar card.
