Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal: Simplifying Aadhaar Center Search

Finding an Aadhaar center has become much easier with the launch of a new Aadhaar portal by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Developed with the assistance of ISRO’s National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), the portal is named Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal. This web-based platform promises to be highly beneficial for Aadhaar users.

How is Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal Useful?

Currently, if you need to locate an Aadhaar center, you might rely on Google Maps. However, Google Maps may not always have the most up-to-date information about newly opened centers. The Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal solves this problem by providing accurate and frequently updated data on all Aadhaar centers. Updates will be available every 15 days or monthly, ensuring users always have the latest information.

Features of Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal

Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal acts as a single-window platform for Aadhaar enrollment and update center information. Some notable features include:

1. Accurate Location Data:
   It shows the exact location of Aadhaar centers, including the route to reach them.
2. User-Friendly Interface:
   Like Google Maps, users can navigate the center’s location on the map with a simple “View Map” button.

Steps to Use Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal

Follow these simple steps to locate an Aadhaar center:

1. Visit the official portal: https://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/aadhaar/.
2. Click on the Centres Nearby tab on the homepage.
3. Enter your current location, address, PIN code, latitude, or longitude in the Location field.
4. Specify the search radius (in kilometers) in the Radius field.
5. Click the Search button.
6. The portal will display Aadhaar centers within the specified radius, along with their locations.

Additionally, users can scan the QR code or directly click on the shared link for easy access.

Other Important Information

1. Aadhaar Updates:
   UIDAI has mandated updating Aadhaar cards that are over 10 years old to ensure user security. While online updates are possible, biometric details like fingerprints and iris scans still require a visit to an Aadhaar center.
2. Platform Updates:
   The portal will display the date of its last update to ensure users can rely on its accuracy.

Conclusion

The Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal is a powerful tool to streamline the process of locating Aadhaar centers. By leveraging ISRO’s geospatial technology, it provides a reliable and user-friendly solution for millions of Aadhaar users across India.
