UIDAI Introduces Secure Digital Aadhaar App with Face Scan Login and Privacy Protection Features

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has officially introduced a new Aadhaar mobile app that allows users to store their Aadhaar card digitally on their smartphones. With this launch, people no longer need to carry their physical Aadhaar cards for verification, making identification faster and easier.

The Aadhaar app is designed to give you secure and convenient access to your Aadhaar information at any time and from any location. It includes advanced security features like as biometric authentication and facial recognition to keep your personal information safe from misuse. Users can even manage the Aadhaar details of family members who registered with the same mobile number.

For further privacy, the app allows users to hide critical information such as their date of birth or address when not needed. The new Aadhaar app is available for download from both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Users can easily find the app by searching for "Aadhaar" and installing it just like any other application. To log in, simply provide your registered mobile number, and once authenticated, you may view all of your Aadhaar information immediately.

During the setup process, facial verification is required to validate identity and prevent unauthorized use of Aadhaar credentials. However, following the first setup, some of the app's functionality can be accessible offline. While internet connectivity is required for setup and certain features, you can access your stored Aadhaar information at any time without a live connection.

The launch of this digital Aadhaar app marks another major step toward India’s digital transformation, offering citizens a secure, paperless, and convenient way to access their identity proof. This initiative aligns with the government’s vision of promoting Digital India, reducing dependency on physical documents, and simplifying identity verification across services. With enhanced privacy and multi-layer security, the new app ensures your Aadhaar data stays protected at all times. As digital adoption continues to grow, this innovation by UIDAI will help millions experience faster, smarter, and more reliable access to their personal identification.
