This means that on an average 6 lakh downloads are done per day. In order to apply for Aadhar card, a resident must produce a valid proof of identity and a proof of address document at the Enrolment Centre. The UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has listed down documents that are considered as valid for identity and address proof for Aadhar card. There arises a common question about the Bank passbook that can be produced as Aadhar card address proof.
