In a move aimed at boosting accessibility and convenience for residents, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has partnered with Google to enable the display of verified Aadhaar centres on Google Maps.
Under this initiative, users will be able to locate Aadhaar centres based on the specific services they offer—such as adult enrolment, child enrolment, or address and mobile number updates. Details related to centre accessibility, including divyang-friendly features, parking availability, and operating hours, will also be visible wherever applicable.
The feature is expected to roll out in the coming months.
Designed to improve public convenience and curb misinformation, the collaboration will ensure users searching on Google Maps are directed only to authorised centres. This will cover more than 60,000 Aadhaar enrolment and update facilities across the country, including Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs).
“UIDAI is always focused on improving ease of living for Aadhaar number holders. This collaboration will ensure that navigating the authorised Aadhaar centres is now simpler, faster, and more transparent,” said Bhuvnesh Kumar, CEO, UIDAI.
In the next phase, UIDAI will use Google Business Profile to manage centre information and respond to user feedback, strengthening transparency and service responsiveness. Future enhancements may also include direct appointment booking through Google Maps, enabling residents to plan their visits more efficiently.
“By joining hands with UIDAI to integrate verified Aadhaar centres, we are making it easier for millions of residents to find trusted services with confidence and bridging the gap between essential government infrastructure and the people who need it most,” said Roli Agarwal, Country Head, Strategic Partnerships, Google India.
