During enrolment, residents have to fill an enrolment form which will have basic details such as name, address etc. Evidence of Proof of Identity (PoI), Proof of Address (PoA) and Date of Birth (DoB) should be produced. If original documents are not available, copies attested by a notary/gazetted officer will be accepted. Additionally, biometric details – which include scanning of 10 fingerprints and iris, and photograph – will be taken. For children under 15, biometric details won’t be taken; their UID will be linked to their parent’s after verification.

Copies of documents will be verified against the original and stored by Registrar for audit later. After registering, an enrolment number will be given. The 12-digit Aadhaar number will be issued within 20-30 days by Speed Post.
In the case of people who do not have documents for proof, there is an introducer system. The Registrar for enrolment can designate individuals who can vouch for the validity of a person’s information. Introducers can be government agencies, banks, teachers, village postmen, elected representatives and NGOs. Introducers will be enrolled first and given training. Their UID will be mentioned among the details of the person who gets enrolled.
While UID enrolment is going to start in Bangalore in June, civil society organisations are raising concerns about security, feasibility and usefulness of UID. In a panel discussion organised by the Centre for Internet and Society on May 26, these concerns were raised. Congress MLA Narendra Babu, who was one of the panelists, said that the concerns were valid and that they should be considered.

Dear Madam,
thanks for all the info provided. Is it possible to list out all the P.O. where we can register. this will help in identifying which is the nearest P.O.
Thanks
hmm.. Sometime back they came to our house stuck a tiny sticker with some number. We were supposed to get calls for getting the picture & bio-metrics taken. So, is that no longer relevant?
