UIDAI partners MapmyIndia to display authorised Aadhaar centres on its app

UIDAI partners with MapmyIndia to display authorised Aadhaar Seva Kendras on its app, enhancing convenience and combating misinformation for residents.

"This kind of collaboration will allow digital mapping of verified Aadhaar Centres across India - Bhuvnesh Kumar"

New Delhi, April 2

The Unique Identification Authority of India has signed an agreement with MapmyIndia to enable display of authorised Aadhaar centres on its Mappls App to enhance convenience for residents, an official statement said on Thursday.

Users can identify and access authorised Aadhaar centres based on the nature of services offered, like adult enrolment, child enrolment or only address and mobile update, the statement added.

The agreement was signed on April 1, 2026 and it formed the collaboration to enhance public convenience, combat misinformation, and ensure residents have seamless access to state-of-the-art Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs) and other Aadhaar centres, nationwide, the statement from Ministry of Electronics and IT said.

MapmyIndia will integrate UIDAI-provided Aadhaar Centre information into the Mappls platform and ensure accurate representation, digital mapping and distinct listing of Aadhaar centres.

"UIDAI is always driven by resident centricity. This kind of collaboration will allow digital mapping of verified Aadhaar Centres across India and help people find the authorised Aadhaar centres easily," said Bhuvnesh Kumar, CEO, UIDAI.

Earlier, UIDAI and US tech giant Google entered a similar partnership for display of authorised Aadhaar centres on Google Maps.

Information related to centre accessibility, including features such as divyang-friendly infrastructure and availability of parking facilities, operating hours, will also be displayed wherever applicable, further enhancing convenience for residents, an official statement said.

In the next phase of the collaboration, UIDAI will use Google Business Profile to manage centre information and respond directly to people's feedback, ensuring a transparent and responsive service ecosystem.

The partnership in the next phase will explore direct appointment booking through the Google Maps interface allowing residents to plan their visits more effectively.

A new Aadhaar mobile app was launched in January to make identity verification faster, safer and more citizen‑friendly by enabling users to carry and share their digital identity from their mobile phones.

Good move by UIDAI. Partnerships with MapmyIndia and Google Maps show they are thinking about user convenience. The details about divyang-friendly access and parking are thoughtful. Now if only the queues at these centres could be managed better!

While the intent is good, I hope this doesn't become another case of "digital India" where the app works great in cities but rural centres are missing or incorrectly mapped. The focus should be on pan-India coverage, not just metros.

As someone who recently moved to India, getting my Aadhaar was confusing. This will be a huge help for expats and new residents. The filtering by service type (adult vs child enrolment) is a smart feature.

The direct appointment booking through Google Maps mentioned for the next phase is what we really need! Booking a slot online will end the long waiting lines. UIDAI should fast-track that feature. Bahut accha initiative hai!
