Aadhaar is used to verify a person's identity, whether they're working for a small business or renting from you. In some cases, a document has been forged and used to make a fraudulent claim.
The Aadhaar number is a 12-digit random number provided by the UIDAI to Indian citizens who have completed the Authority's verification process. The Aadhaar number can be obtained by anyone, regardless of age or gender, who is a citizen of India. Enrollment requires only the most basic of demographic and biometric data from those who wish to participate, and this information is provided at no charge. Due to the uniqueness provided by demographic and biometric de-duplication, only one Aadhaar can be generated for each person who applies for Aadhaar.
The Aadhaar number can be verified online and at a low cost. As a primary identifier, it can be used to roll out various government welfare schemes and programmes for efficient service delivery, thereby promoting transparency and good governance. It is unique and robust. For the first time, a state-of-the-art digital and online ID is being provided free of charge to people at such a large scale, and this could have a significant impact on how services are delivered.
How do you know if an Aadhaar card is authentic?
"Aadhaar" is verifiable both online and offline, according to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which has stated this:
You can verify your Aadhaar number online by visiting https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/verifyAadhaar and entering your Aadhaar number, as well as your gender, state, and the last three digits of your phone number.
QR codes on Aadhaar cards, letters, and documents contain demographic information (Name, Gender, Date of Birth, and Address) as well as a photograph of the Aadhaar number holder. These QR codes are used in offline mode. Digitally signed by UIDAI, the QR code contains information that cannot be altered, even if an Aadhaar card is photo-shopped with another person's photograph. In the Play Store and App Store, the "Aadhaar QR scanner" app can read the QR code.
