How to identify unauthorized centers?

Due to the growth of digital services, some private shops can claim to be an authorized center without proper permission. Let’s learn how to beware of private shops making such claims.

• Authorized Centers, also known as Aadhaar Seva Kendras. Such authorized centers will always display the official logo of UIDAI and the list of fixed rates for the services.
• Search for centers on Google Max or MapmyIndia that have a Verified mark or search for centers about which official information has been shared by UIDAI.
• Authorized centers follow the rates fixed by the government. If a center asks extra for any normal Aadhaar update, it is more likely to be an unauthorized center.
• There are some small shops that claim to update or print Aadhar card without any proper biometric scan or official receipt. Beware of such shops.
• If you are in doubt about anything, please double check the address of the center on the official website of UIDAI before visiting the center.
