Who can be a Registrar?

How to be a Registrar?

Draft MoU

"Registrar" is any entity authorized or recognized by the Authority for the purpose of enrolling the individuals for UID numbers. Registrars are typically departments or agencies of the State Government/Union territory, public sector undertakings and other agencies and organizations who interact with residents, in the normal course of implementation of some of their programs, activities or operations. Examples of such Registrars are Rural Development Department (for NREGS) or Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department (for TPDS), insurance companies such as Life Insurance Corporation and Banks.

At this stage, the UIDAI has primarily engaged with state governments, central ministries and public sector organizations. The UIDAI has entered into MoU's with State Governments/Union Territories and they define the specific departments they would like to appoint to roll out the project.
