The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has entered into a partnership with MapmyIndia to integrate authorised Aadhaar service centres into the Mappls mobile application, a move aimed at simplifying access to Aadhaar-related services across the country.
The agreement, signed on April 1, 2026, will allow users to locate verified Aadhaar centres through the Mappls App, the navigation platform developed by MapmyIndia. The rollout is expected over the coming months.
Under the collaboration, UIDAI will provide authenticated data on Aadhaar centres, which will be digitally mapped and listed within the app. The integration is designed to ensure that users searching for Aadhaar services are directed only to authorised centres.
Search-Based Access To Verified Aadhaar Services
The feature will allow residents to identify centres based on specific services offered, including new enrolments for adults and children, as well as updates to address and mobile details.
By categorising centres according to services, the platform aims to reduce confusion for users who often rely on incomplete or unverified information when seeking Aadhaar services.
The initiative also seeks to address concerns around misinformation and unauthorised operators. By displaying only verified locations, UIDAI intends to create a single, reliable digital layer for Aadhaar service access.
Focus On Convenience And Digital Mapping
“UIDAI is always driven by resident centricity. This kind of collaboration will allow digital mapping of verified Aadhaar Centres across India and help people find the authorised Aadhaar centres easily,” said Bhuvnesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of UIDAI.
MapmyIndia will be responsible for integrating the data into its platform, ensuring accurate geolocation, consistent updates, and clear identification of Aadhaar centres within the app interface.
“It is a privilege to serve UIDAI and enable people with easy access to Aadhaar Centres, through the Mappls App,” said Rakesh Verma, Co-founder and Chairman and Managing Director of MapmyIndia.
Nationwide Access Through Aadhaar Seva Kendras
The initiative covers Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs) and other authorised centres operating across India. These centres provide services including biometric enrolment, demographic updates, and document verification.
By embedding this network into a widely used navigation app, the collaboration aims to bridge the gap between physical service points and digital discovery tools.
The rollout is expected to make Aadhaar services more accessible, particularly for users unfamiliar with official centre locations or navigating multiple service providers.
