The UIDAI self service portal has introduced a new AI/ML-driven chatbot service called "Aadhaar Mitra" to assist citizens with Aadhaar-related issues and questions. As per an official tweet from the UIDAI in February 2023, individuals will be able to use the AI-powered chatbot to check the status of their Aadhaar enrollment, track the status of their Aadhaar PVC card, and receive information on enrollment centres.

The responses provided by Aadhaar Mitra are prompt and automated. You can access the feature by navigating to the bottom right-hand corner of the UIDAI online portal. Currently, the bot is available in Hindi and English.

The Aadhaar Mitra chatbot streamlines the process of checking the status of an update simply by entering a user's pincode and will be directed to the nearest Aadhaar enrollment centre. The bot accessible through the UIDAI self service portal also provides guidance to users on what to do in the event that they misplace their Aadhaar card. It also includes instructions on how to access your e-Aadhaar card online.
