Locating an Aadhaar enrolment or update centre no longer needs long searches or multiple website visits. With the official mAadhaar app, you can quickly find the nearest authorised centre directly from your smartphone. Designed by UIDAI, the app simplifies Aadhaar-related services and helps citizens save both time and effort.
If you are planning to apply for a new Aadhaar card or update details such as address, mobile number, or biometrics, here is a clear and easy step-by-step guide to finding the nearest enrolment centre using the mAadhaar app.
What is the mAadhaar App?
The mAadhaar app is an official mobile application that acts as a digital companion for Aadhaar services. Apart from storing a digital copy of your Aadhaar, it allows users to check Aadhaar status, book appointments, and locate enrolment or update centres nearby. The centre locator feature is especially useful for people who want accurate, location-based results without browsing multiple portals.
Step-by-Step Guide: Locate the Nearest Aadhaar Enrolment Centre Using mAadhaar
1. Open the mAadhaar App
Make sure you have installed the latest version of the mAadhaar app on your smartphone from the app store.
2. Log In Securely
Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and verify your identity using the one-time password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number.
3. Access the Enrolment Centre Locator
Once you are on the home screen, you can:
- Tap on the “Enrolment Center” option directly, or
- Go to the “More” section and select “Locate Enrolment Center.”
4. Enable Location Services
Allow the app to access your device’s location. This helps the app show the most accurate and closest enrolment centres based on where you are.
5. View Nearby Aadhaar Centres
After enabling location access, the app will display a list of Aadhaar enrolment and update centres near your current location. Each listing includes basic details for quick reference.
6. Apply Filters for Better Results (Optional)
If you want more control over your search, you can refine the results by selecting:
- State
- District

7. Check Complete Centre Details
Tap on any centre from the list to view detailed information such as:
- Centre name
- Full address
- Contact number

- Services available
- Exact map location for easy navigation
Useful Tips for a Smooth Experience
- Keep the app updated: Regular updates ensure you see the latest centre information and new features.
