The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has expanded its resident-centric infrastructure in Tamil Nadu by operationalizing two new state-of-the-art Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs) in Tenkasi and Tiruppur.
The ASK at Tenkasi was inaugurated on November 6, 2026, by Dr. Monika Rana, District Collector of Tenkasi, in the presence of officials from UIDAI Regional Office Bengaluru and M/s BLS International, which manages the centre's daily operations. Similarly, the ASK at Tiruppur was launched on November 4, 2026, by Tmt. R. Ananthi, District Revenue Officer, alongside UIDAI officials and representatives from M/s Protean eGov Technologies. During the inaugurations, the dignitaries interacted with visiting residents, reviewed enrolment and update procedures, and inspected facilities.
Equipped with four operational kits each, both ASKs function on all days except public holidays to ensure high accessibility. They offer a comprehensive range of services under one roof, including new enrolments, demographic and biometric updates, and grievance redressal mechanisms for residents. With these additions, UIDAI has operationalized 27 ASKs across Tamil Nadu, with three more scheduled to open soon to reach a total of 30 state-of-the-art centres.
Designed to be fully inclusive, the ASKs feature wheelchair accessibility, restrooms, and dedicated support. Residents can also book advance appointments online through the official portal at https://bookappointment.uidai.gov.in/.
