How to Book an Aadhaar Appointment & Find a Seva Kendra

Online appointments are only for UIDAI-run Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs), the large, air-conditioned, Passport-Seva-style centres. These currently operate in a limited number of districts.

Smaller centres inside banks, post offices, and government offices usually run on a walk-in basis and can’t be booked online. So if there’s no ASK near you, don’t worry, you can still walk in to a registrar centre; you just won’t get a pre-booked slot. Use the locator in the second half of this guide to see what’s available near you.

1. Visit the portal: go to the official appointment site at bookappointment.uidai.gov.in, or reach it via the myAadhaar portal. (Note: the mAadhaar app does not support booking, use a web browser.)
2. Select your location: choose your city from the drop-down, then click Proceed to Book Appointment.
3. Enter mobile number: input your number, solve the captcha, and click Generate OTP.
4. Log in: enter the OTP received on your phone.
5. Choose service type: select New Enrolment or Update Aadhaar.
6. Enter details: fill in what’s asked, such as your name, Aadhaar number for updates, or the specific fields you’re updating.
7. Pick centre and slot: search by PIN code or the Nearby option, then choose an available date and time. Slots usually open a few days in advance.
8. Review and confirm: check your choices, note that fees are paid at the counter, and confirm.
9. Print the slip: download and print your appointment slip, and carry it with your original documents to the centre.

1. Open the locator: go to Bhuvan Aadhaar, UIDAI’s official centre finder.
2. Search your way: by state, district, and PIN code; by centre name or landmark; or by allowing location access to see the nearest centres instantly.
3. Filter by type: spot which centres handle full enrolment and updates versus dedicated UIDAI-run Seva Kendras.
