New Aadhaar Card Enrolment — Centre Locator, Documents & Process

You may need to apply for or update New Aadhaar Card Enrolment — Centre Locator, Documents & Process if:

• Indian residents who have never enrolled for an Aadhaar number.
• Children above 5 years seeking their independent biometric Aadhaar.
• Citizens requiring Aadhaar for welfare benefits, direct benefit transfer (DBT), or banking compliance.

Before initiating your application or visiting a centre, ensure you:

• Never previously assigned an Aadhaar number (duplicate enrolment leads to cancellation).
• Physical presence at the centre for biometric capture (face photo, 10 fingerprints, 2 iris scans).
• Valid supporting documents in original form.

• Proof of Identity (PoI): Passport, PAN Card, Voter ID, Ration Card, Driving Licence, or Govt Photo ID.
• Proof of Address (PoA): Passport, Bank Passbook, Electricity Bill (max 3 months), Voter ID, or Ration Card.
• Proof of Date of Birth (DoB): Birth Certificate, SSLC/10th Board Certificate, or Passport.

• New enrolment is 100% FREE. Never pay any money or facilitation fee to any centre operator or agent. Report extortion to UIDAI toll-free 1947.
• Do not submit forged or altered documents. Providing fraudulent documents is a punishable criminal offence under Section 42 of the Aadhaar Act.
• Keep your 28-digit Enrolment ID (EID) slip safe; you will need it to track status and download e-Aadhaar.
