Bangaloreans are busy queuing up at post offices to register for their Unique Identification numbers. Despite some minor inconveniences, people are excited about the process and want other UID registrars to start registrations too. Currently, India Post is offering the service at six post offices across the city.
Jayanagar Head Post Office is registering about 50 citizens every day. The process entails going to the post office and signing up for an appointment when the individual will fill out a form with basic personal information, undergo a 10-fingerprint scan and have her iris scanned. Supervisor Hitesh K R said, "People shouldn't be in a hurry as this process will go on for a year. The Aadhar packet containing their UID number will be sent to their residence." After a citizen completes the registration, she'll receive an acknowledgement of completion immediately, but it could be 45 days before the full UID package is sent.
Hitesh says the form is "one of the easiest forms in India" and that people need to only carry a photo ID and a proof of address for the registration.
