Aadhaar Home Enrolment Service

Background

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has the mandate to issue Unique Identification Number (UID) called "Aadhaar" to all eligible residents of India as well as NRIs on their arrival in India.

As the Aadhaar platform is being used to deliver various Government welfare services and benefits to the residents, the requirement of Aadhaar enrolment and update has emerged as a prime requirement among all segments of populace of the country. UIDAI has been of late receiving requests from the residents for providing home enrolment facility, especially for senior citizens/bedridden/infirm/ persons with disabilities (Divyangjan) etc. Based on merit, UIDAI Regional Offices have been attending to such requests for home enrolment through the Registrars. However, considering the additional cost involved and absence of a specific policy or guidelines in this regard, the Registrars were reluctant to attend to such requests. The Authority noticed that this leads to inordinate delay or denial in providing home enrolment services to the needy residents.

As part of improving the ease of living and enhancing citizen centric approach, the Competent Authority approved the following process to address the home enrolment requests received by UIDAI Regional Offices through various channels.
