Abstract - The increasing Indian population, migration from neighboring countries, and numerous variants of identity cards like ration cards and voter ID cards forced the Government of India to form ‘Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)’. The primary responsibility of the UIDAI is to issue Unique Identification Number (UID) or Aadhaar number to Indian residents which can be used for all the government transactions/benefits schemes like gas subsidy, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Like ATVMs on railway stations for booking tickets, the journey passes, etc., the aim of this paper is to create a replica of those machines and create a one-stop solution for digitally updating existing and registering for new Aadhaar. Currently, there are no means to access the Aadhaar facilities digitally.

We plan to develop a system allowing users to access the simple Aadhaar facilities viz. Aadhaar Enrolment, updating biometrics, updating mobile number & email, linking mobile number with Aadhaar, updating address, Request Physical Card and various other Aadhaar facilities using a self-service kiosk.

Key Words:  Aadhaar, kiosk, UIDAI, biometrics, enrolment, updating
