UIDAI and Google Partner for Aadhaar

The India — Aadhaar (UIDAI) has partnered with Alphabet Inc. to display authorized Aadhaar centers on Alphabet Inc. Maps across India. This collaboration aims to enhance public convenience by allowing residents to easily locate over 60,000 Aadhaar centers, including Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs), and check available services like adult enrollment, child enrollment, or address and mobile updates. The initiative will also provide information on center accessibility, such as divyang-friendly infrastructure and parking facilities, and operating hours. Future phases of the partnership will explore using Alphabet Inc. Business Profile for managing center information and responding to feedback, as well as direct appointment booking through the Alphabet Inc. Maps interface. This move is part of a broader effort by government agencies in India to leverage digital platforms for citizen services, combating misinformation and ensuring seamless access to essential identity services.
