New Delhi, April 8: In a major boost for the citizen in submitting their UIDs at need, the government of India on Tuesday launched a universal App to verify and share Aadhaar Cards.
The new Aadhaar app that allows users to verify and share their Aadhaar details digitally was launched by Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Highlighting the importance of digital innovation, the minister said, the app will make someone’s Aadhaar verification easier, faster, and more secure.
He added that the app empowers users to share only the necessary data through secure digital means, and always with their consent.
“Now with just a tap, users can share only the necessary data, giving them complete control over their personal information,” he said.
One of the standout features of the app is Face ID authentication, which enhances security and makes verification seamless.
Aadhaar verification can now be done by simply scanning a QR code.
With this new system, people will no longer need to hand over printed copies of their Aadhaar cards at hotels, shops, airports or any other verification points.
The app, which is currently in its beta testing phase, has been designed with strong privacy safeguards.
It ensures that Aadhaar details cannot be forged, edited or misused. Information is shared securely and only with the user’s permission.
