Share Data with a Single Tap

With the Aadhaar new app, users can exchange particular Aadhaar details digitally with a single tap. Be it your address, name, or anything else, you have complete authority over what needs to be exchanged. This service enables citizens to safeguard individual information without compromising verification needs on different services.

Simplified Aadhaar Verification

The application simplifies Aadhaar verification as much as making a UPI payment. Using secure and encrypted digital pathways, users can verify and transfer Aadhaar information instantly, cutting paperwork and the risk of data misuse. ​

Digital Sharing for Travel Bookings

Conventionally, hotel bookings and travel reservations involved submitting physical Aadhaar copies. The new app does away with this necessity by allowing users to share Aadhaar information digitally, providing increased privacy and convenience. ​

Inbuilt Privacy and Forgery Protection

The Aadhaar app provides strong privacy features, limiting the possibility of data misuse or leaks. It offers protection from forgery or tampering, for example, editing or photoshopping Aadhaar information.

Face ID-Based Authentication

The application brings in face recognition technology for Aadhaar authentication. Now users can authenticate themselves using a smartphone with only a face scan, without physical cards or photocopies. ​

Advancement for a Paperless Era

As per authorities, the new Aadhaar app fits the country’s Digital India campaign, facilitating contactless, paperless, and cashless transactions. Its secure system ensures safety of personal information, reflecting the increasing demands for data protection. ​

How to Use the New Aadhaar App

To access the facial recognition feature, users must download or update the Aadhaar app to the most recent version. During registration, the app takes a live selfie through the device’s front-facing camera and matches it with the Aadhaar database to confirm the identity. This is done according to safety rules and seeks to minimize identity theft and fraud.

The new Aadhaar app is a major leap in digital identity authentication, providing customers with a secure, convenient, and paperless way to authenticate their identity across services
