Where to Get Aadhaar, PAN and Passport Work Done in Kotdwar
Most document work in India now starts online and ends with one short visit in person. The trick is knowing which part you can do from home, and which office to walk into. Here's how it works in Kotdwar.
Aadhaar: new card, updates and corrections
Where to go
The Aadhaar Seva Kendra Kotdwar in Simalchaur is the main UIDAI-run centre. It handles new enrolments, biometric updates, mobile number changes and corrections. Banks and some post offices also do Aadhaar updates.
