Follow these steps to complete your Aadhaar Enrolment or Correction Form and submit it at an authorized UIDAI centre.
Step 1: Download or Collect the Form
Download the Aadhaar Card form from this page as a PDF file. You can also collect a physical copy at any UIDAI-authorized enrolment centre near you. The form is free to obtain and submit.
Step 2: Fill in Your Personal Information
Enter your full legal name, date of birth, gender, and residential address. All personal details must match the supporting documents you plan to submit. Avoid abbreviations in the name field to prevent rejection.
Step 3: Choose Your Verification Method
Select one of three verification types listed on the form. Document-based verification is the most common and requires a valid government ID such as a passport, voter ID, or driving license. Introducer-based and head-of-family-based options are available when standard documents are not accessible.
Step 4: Submit at an Enrolment Centre
Take your completed form along with original supporting documents to the nearest UIDAI enrolment centre. Biometric data including fingerprints and iris scans will be captured during your visit. You will receive an enrolment ID slip as proof of submission.
What Documents Are Required for Aadhaar Enrolment?
You must provide proof of identity and proof of address. Accepted identity documents include a passport, voter ID, PAN card, or driving license. For address proof, a recent bank statement, utility bill, or ration card are valid options. A birth certificate may also be used as supporting proof of age.
How to Link Your Aadhaar to a Bank Account
After receiving your Aadhaar number, you can link it to your bank account through your bank's branch or online portal. Aadhaar linking is required to receive government subsidies and direct benefit transfers. To open a new bank account, refer to the Bank of India Account Opening Form or the Indian Bank Account Opening Form.
