In a move aimed at improving citizen convenience and digital accessibility, the Unique Identification Authority of India has signed an agreement with MapmyIndia to display authorised Aadhaar centres on the Mappls App.
The agreement, signed on April 1, 2026, will allow residents to easily locate verified Aadhaar centres across India in the coming months.
Enhancing Access to Aadhaar Services
The initiative is expected to significantly improve access to Aadhaar-related services by enabling users to:
- Locate authorised Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs)
- Identify centres based on services offered, such as:
- Adult enrolment
- Child enrolment
- Address and mobile updates
This will help residents choose the right centre based on their specific requirements.
Focus on Accuracy and Transparency
Under this collaboration:
- UIDAI will provide verified Aadhaar centre data
- MapmyIndia will integrate this data into the Mappls platform
- Aadhaar centres will be accurately mapped and distinctly listed
Once implemented, users searching on the Mappls App will be directed only to authorised centres, reducing the risk of misinformation and fraud.
Strengthening Citizen-Centric Governance
UIDAI CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar highlighted that the initiative aligns with the organisation’s focus on resident-centric services.
The partnership aims to:
- Improve ease of access
- Ensure reliable and authentic information
- Enhance the overall user experience for Aadhaar services
Industry Collaboration for Digital Infrastructure
Rakesh Verma, Co-founder and CMD of MapmyIndia, described the collaboration as an opportunity to leverage digital mapping technology for public service delivery.
The integration reflects the growing role of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) in making government services more accessible and efficient.
Conclusion
The UIDAI–MapmyIndia partnership marks another step forward in India’s digital governance journey. By enabling real-time access to verified Aadhaar centres, the initiative will ensure greater transparency, convenience, and trust for millions of residents.
