Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identification (UID) number which the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is issuing for all Indian residents.
The UID number is stored in a centralised database and linked to the basic demographics and biometric information – photograph, ten fingerprints and iris – of each individual.
WHY AADHAR?
Once a person is on the Aadhaar database the person will be able to establish identity easily. Aadhaar will become the single source of identity verification. Residents would be spared the hassle of repeatedly providing supporting identity documents each time they wish to access services such as obtaining a bank account, passport, driving license and so on.
By providing a clear proof of identity, Aadhaar will also facilitate entry for poor and underprivileged residents into the formal banking system and the opportunity to avail services provided by the government and the private sector. Aadhaar will also give migrants mobility of identity.
Documents needed for enrollment
Along with the filled Aadhaar enrollment form, following documents need to be produced in original or attested copies from notary/gazetted officer.
In the case of people who do not have documents for proof, there is an introducer system.
The Registrar for enrollment 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.
