Every citizen of the nation is given an Aadhaar Card, which has a 12-digit unique number, by the UIDAI, or Unique Identification Authority of India. It operates as a single identifying document and provides evidence of identity and address. An Aadhaar Card cannot, however, be used in place of a PAN card, driver’s license, passport, etc. To apply for a new Aadhaar card or to make any changes to your existing one, you no longer need to wait in line for hours. The Aadhaar card online appointment system has been introduced by the UIDAI, or Unique Identification Authority of India. To enroll in Aadhaar, all you have to do is visit the UIDAI’s official website and make an online appointment.

What are the requirements for Aadhaar enrollment?

Three requirements must be met in order to enrol for an Aadhaar card:

• Document-Based: If the applicant has the necessary documents, they must include them on their application form. These documents include POIs (Proofs of Identity) and POAs (Proofs of Address).
• Head of the Family: If you do not give personal identification documents, the HOF, or Head of the Family, may present specific documents to introduce family members—documents establishing POR, or Proof of Relationship—in the event that you do not submit personal identification documents.
• Reference for Introduction If you do not have valid POIs (Proofs of Identity) and POAs (Proofs of Address), you may utilise an introducer’s recommendation instead.
