About this guidePending verification
Published on 12-11-2026. Not every fact has been checked against its official source yet: confirm at the office.
For whom: Anyone living in Andhra Pradesh who has never had an Aadhaar, from a newborn baby to an adult. If you already have an Aadhaar and lost the card, this guide is not for you; do not enrol again. NRIs with a valid Indian passport, and OCI cardholders and other foreign nationals who have stayed in India for 182 days in the last 12 months, can enrol too: their steps are here as well.
Answer the questions below first. Then the documents and steps open.
1Your situation
We show only what your answers need.
- Which of these are you?
- Who is the Aadhaar for, and how old are they?
- Does the child's mother, father or legal guardian have an Aadhaar?
- How will the child be enrolled?
- In the last 12 months, have you stayed in India for 182 days or more?
Your answers stay on this phone.
Each step below says who it is for. Confirm yours at the office, then change your answer here.

· Do them in order. Tick each one when it is done.
- Do this nowIf: Indian citizen living in India / Indian citizen living abroad (NRI)
Look up the nearest Aadhaar centre on UIDAI's map of centres (Bhuvan Aadhaar).
Aadhaar centres are run in banks, post offices, BSNL and State Government offices. In Andhra Pradesh, Aadhaar enrolment is also on the list of services of the village and ward secretariats. UIDAI's own Aadhaar Seva Kendras in Andhra Pradesh are three: Kakinada (Temple Street, opposite the Tripura Sundari temple), NTR district (Seetharampuram, Kothagundla Plaza) and Visakhapatnam (Dwaraka Nagar, Grand Palace). They work every day of the week except national and regional holidays, 9:30 am to 5:30 pm.

We found no State list saying that every secretariat, or which ones, have an Aadhaar counter; the secretariat services list is on the Anakapalli district website (2024). Check the UIDAI map, or ask at your secretariat, before you go.

New enrolment of people aged 18 and over is not done at every Aadhaar centre: only at UIDAI's Aadhaar Seva Kendras and at certain centres UIDAI has designated.
On the map, choose a centre shown as "All enrolment (including 18+)".

If you are going to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra, you can book a time in advance on UIDAI's appointment website.
It costs nothing and needs no Aadhaar-linked mobile. One person can book no more than two appointments a month, and can move an appointment up to 24 hours before it. People who walk in without one also get a token; the last token of the day is given at 5:30 pm.
Open the official pageNot confirmed
We did not see the appointment website's screens. Aadhaar centres in banks, post offices and secretariats keep their own hours; ask the centre itself whether it gives times in advance.

Go to an Aadhaar centre with the child and the mother or father (or guardian).

UIDAI's FAQ says an NRI may enrol at any Aadhaar enrolment centre, but UIDAI's 2022 memo keeps new enrolment of adults to the Aadhaar Seva Kendras and designated centres. Before you go, check on the centre map (Bhuvan Aadhaar) that the centre enrols people aged 18 and over.

The child's valid Indian passport is compulsory as proof of identity.

To use the address abroad in the passport, fill in Form 4. An e-mail address is compulsory. If the child is enrolled on a parent's Aadhaar, one parent confirms and signs for the child.

Once your Aadhaar is ready, download e-Aadhaar on the myAadhaar website or in UIDAI's "Aadhaar" app, with the enrolment number or the Aadhaar number; an OTP comes to the mobile you gave at enrolment.
e-Aadhaar is as valid as the paper Aadhaar letter. The PDF password is the first four letters of your name in capitals followed by your year of birth. The Aadhaar letter also comes to your address by ordinary post (without tracking). If you gave no mobile, an Aadhaar centre can download it after a fingerprint check and give you a colour print.
