UIDAI partnered with Google for displaying authorised Aadhaar Centres on Google Maps

New Delhi: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and Google have partnered to enable the display of authorised Aadhaar centres on Google Maps in order to enhance ease of access and convenience for residents across the country.

The initiative will help residents identify Aadhaar Centres based on the nature of services offered, like adult enrolment, child enrolment or only address and mobile update.

Additionally, any 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.

The collaboration will probably enhance and facilitate the public convenience, combat misinformation, and ensure residents have seamless access to over 60,000 Aadhaar centres including state-of-the-art Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs), nationwide.

This will ensure that when users search on Google maps they are directed to verified Aadhaar centres. In the subsequent 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.
