Residents of Prayagraj and Kaushambi districts can now get new Aadhaar cards and update existing ones at 50 post offices across the two districts, eliminating the need to travel long distances to access the services.
The centres are operating daily under the guidelines of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), said senior superintendent of posts PC Tiwari.
New Aadhaar enrolment for eligible citizens is free of cost. However, a fee of ₹75 has been prescribed for demographic updates, including changes in name, date of birth, gender, address, mobile number and email ID.
For biometric updates, including changes to photographs, fingerprints and iris scans, applicants will have to pay ₹125, Tiwari said.
In Prayagraj district, the facility is available at several sub-post offices, including Atrampur, Baraut, Daraganj, Dhoomanganj, Handia, Naini, Phaphamau, Phulpur, Jhunsi, Subedarganj, Mauaima, Meja, Mutthiganj and Holagarh. The services are also available at the Prayagraj Head Post Office and Kachahari Head Post Office.
