The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) manages and oversees all operations related to Aadhaar, the 12-digit unique identity number issued to residents of India.
To ensure smooth governance, citizen support, and regional coordination, UIDAI operates several regional offices across India. These offices handle enrolment oversight, grievance redressal, Aadhaar updates, and coordination with State Registrars.
What Are UIDAI Regional Offices?
UIDAI regional offices act as the zonal administrative centers responsible for:
- Supervising Aadhaar enrolment agencies and update centers.
- Handling public grievances and official correspondence.
- Coordinating with State Governments and UIDAI headquarters in Delhi.
- Managing technical and operational support for Aadhaar services.
Each regional office covers a group of states or union territories to streamline administration.
