Service availability can vary by branch, so it is advisable to check beforehand.

India Post offers Aadhaar enrolment and update services at designated post offices across Guwahati through dedicated Aadhaar desks.

Residents of Guwahati can update demographic details in their Aadhaar by visiting a UIDAI‑authorised Aadhaar enrolment centre. Demographic updates cover personal information that may change over time and require document verification along with biometric authentication.

Process involved at the enrolment centre:

• Visit the enrolment centre: Aadhaar Seva Kendras, select banks, and post offices offer demographic update services.

• Submit valid documents: Original proof documents must be presented for verification.

• Biometric authentication: Fingerprint or iris authentication is required to validate the update request.

• Receive acknowledgement slip: A slip with the Update Request Number (URN) is issued for tracking the update status.

Biometric updates in Aadhaar can only be carried out at authorised enrolment centres and require the applicant’s physical presence. These updates help maintain accuracy in Aadhaar records over time.

Biometric details that can be updated include:

• Fingerprints: Capture of all ten fingerprints.

• Iris scan: Scanning of both eyes.

• Photograph: Latest facial photograph.
   

Biometric updates are mandatory for children at specific ages and are also recommended when biometric quality declines due to age or occupation.

Baal Aadhaar is issued to children below the age of five years and links the child’s Aadhaar to one parent’s Aadhaar number. At this stage, biometric data of the child is not collected.

Steps to apply for Baal Aadhaar:

• Visit an enrolment centre: Aadhaar Seva Kendras and select government‑authorised centres provide Baal Aadhaar services.

• Submit birth proof: Documents such as a birth certificate or hospital discharge slip are required.

• Provide parent Aadhaar details: Aadhaar number of one parent is mandatory.

• Complete enrolment: Child’s photograph and basic details are recorded.
   

Biometric details are updated later, once the child reaches the required age milestones.

After completing enrolment or update, applicants can track the status of their Aadhaar online using the acknowledgement details provided at the centre.

Ways to check Aadhaar status:

• Using enrolment ID: Enter the EID mentioned on the acknowledgement slip on the UIDAI website.

• Online status portal: Status can be checked under the Aadhaar enrolment or update status section.

• SMS confirmation: Status alerts may be sent to the registered mobile number.
   

The status shows whether the Aadhaar is under processing, approved, or dispatched.

Steps to download e‑Aadhaar:
