New Aadhaar Centre Opens at Govardhan Chauraha in Mathura

New Aadhaar Centre Opens at Govardhan Chauraha in Mathura, All Services Available Under One Roof

Mathura: In a major relief for residents of Mathura and nearby areas, a new authorised Aadhaar Centre has started operations at Govardhan Chauraha, making Aadhaar enrolment and update services more accessible than ever before. Citizens will no longer have to make repeated visits to Jan Seva Kendras or travel long distances for routine Aadhaar-related work.

The centre, which became operational on 27 April, is already attracting significant public attention. Local residents have welcomed the facility as a convenient solution for Aadhaar enrolment, mobile number updates, address corrections, biometric updates, and other essential services.

According to Centre Manager Manoj Chaudhary, the Aadhaar Centre has been established to provide citizens with hassle-free services at government-approved charges while ensuring transparency and reliability.

All Major Aadhaar Services Available

The newly opened Aadhaar Centre offers a comprehensive range of Aadhaar-related services. Residents can visit the centre for:

• New Aadhaar enrolment.
• Mobile number update.
• Address correction or change.
• Name correction.
• Gender update.
• Date of birth correction.
• Photograph update.
• Fingerprint update.
• Iris (eye scan) update.
• Aadhaar print services.

This means citizens can complete nearly all Aadhaar-related work from a single location without unnecessary delays.

Government-Approved Service Charges

The centre management has clarified that all services are being provided strictly according to UIDAI-approved charges.

Big Relief for Parents

One of the biggest advantages of the new centre is the free Aadhaar update facility for children between the ages of 5 and 17 years. Parents whose children require mandatory Aadhaar updates can complete the process without paying any service charge.

Officials believe this facility will help improve Aadhaar data accuracy among school-going children while reducing the financial burden on families.

Adults Without Aadhaar Can Also Apply

The centre is also accepting applications from adults who have not yet obtained an Aadhaar number.

According to Manoj Chaudhary, individuals above 18 years of age who have never enrolled for Aadhaar can visit the centre with the necessary documents and complete the enrolment process.

Applicants are advised to carry:

• Voter ID Card.
• Recent photograph.
• Identity proof.
• Address proof (if required).

After verification of documents, fresh Aadhaar enrolment will be processed.

No Token System, Direct Walk-In Facility

Unlike many crowded service centres where citizens are required to obtain tokens and wait for long periods, the newly opened Aadhaar Centre is currently operating without a token system.

Residents can directly visit the centre and complete their Aadhaar-related work during operating hours.

“People should avoid middlemen and get their work done only through authorised operators at the centre,” said Centre Manager Manoj Chaudhary.
