Aadhaar Services 2026 — UIDAI's Full Citizen Suite

Direct answer. UIDAI's citizen services include: Aadhaar enrolment, mAadhaar app, online address/name/DOB updates, Aadhaar Lock (anti-fraud), eKYC for paperless verification, and PVC Aadhaar card delivery. Most via uidai.gov.in OR mAadhaar app.

If you live abroad: see the NRI India Problem Solver hub for bank, property, PAN, passport and parent-emergency guides built for NRIs.

Key services

Aadhaar Lock (most under-used; most powerful for fraud prevention)

  1. mAadhaar app → “Lock Biometrics” → enable.
  2. Now: no biometric authentication can use your Aadhaar (eKYC, payment, etc.).
  3. Unlock momentarily when needed (for KYC) → re-lock immediately.

If your Aadhaar gets misused (digital arrest scam, phishing, etc.), this is your first line of defence.

If the formal channel fails, escalate via RTI

If your Aadhaar service request isn't resolved through the regular complaint route, you can file an RTI to force the public authority to either act or explain in writing why they haven't. The fee is ₹10 (free if you're BPL).
