The method of registering Aadhaar consists of a visit to the enrollment center, a full registration form, demographic and biometric information and proof of identity and address documentation before receiving an Aadhaar Enrolment ID registration form.
- The enrolment for Aadhaar is free.
- You can go with your Identification and proof of address documents to any registered Aadhaar Registration Center anywhere in India.
- A vast range of Proof of Identity (PoI) and PoA (Proof of Address) documents are approved by UIDAI. Check the following list of documents here in this post. The proof of Identity and address includes commonly Voter card, ration card, passport, and valid driving license.
- Possible accepted photo ID cards for identity proof includes PAN card and Govt ID card. Relevant documents for address proof are the latest three months’ bills of current/water/landline telephone etc.
- If you do not have specific proofs that are mentioned above, Gazetted Officer/Tehsildar’s Certificate of Identification with a letterhead picture is also considered as PoI.
- If an individual has no legitimate documentation in a family, he or she may also register when his name is included in the family entitlement record. The Family Head must first be engraved with the relevant PoI & PoA document in this situation especially in this case. During enrollment, the head of the family may add certain relatives. As proof of relationship, UIDAI accepts many types of documents.
- In the absence of documents, people can also take the assistance of the Introducers at the enrollment center. The Registrar will notify the introducers. Please contact the office of the registrar concerned for further details.
