Step 3: We have used pin code here to search the nearest Aadhaar updation centre. Type in the pin code in the appropriate column. If you click on the ‘show only permanent centres’ option, it will show you a list of permanent Aadhaar updation centre available in the area. However, do note that UIDAI also has temporary centres.
