New Delhi: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has officially launched a revamped Aadhaar mobile application for Android and iOS users. This app aims to make it easier for citizens to securely store, manage, and share their Aadhaar details directly from their smartphones.
The new app, simply named “Aadhaar”, is available on both the Play Store and the App Store. It offers a modern, user-friendly interface designed to simplify digital identity access. With just a two-step authentication process, users can quickly retrieve their Aadhaar information without needing to carry a physical card.
Digital Convenience: Aadhaar App for Seamless Access
While Indian residents have previously been able to access their Aadhaar cards digitally through PDF downloads or platforms like DigiLocker, the new app enhances convenience by offering a centralized solution. According to UIDAI, this initiative empowers users to manage all Aadhaar-related activities directly from their mobile devices.
Users can view and share their Aadhaar data in a secure and verifiable credential format, ensuring that sensitive personal information remains protected. This feature particularly benefits those who need to present their Aadhaar for verification across various services.
New Features and Capabilities in the Aadhaar App
The UIDAI Aadhaar app introduces several advanced features for flexibility and security. One of its key highlights is the ability to store multiple Aadhaar profiles on a single device. This means users can conveniently add and manage the Aadhaar details of their family members within the same app.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Platform Availability | Google Play Store and Apple App Store |
| Profile Limit | Up to 5 Aadhaar profiles per device |
| Data Sharing | Verifiable credential format |
| Security | Two-step authentication process |
| Additional Feature | Support for multiple Aadhaar cards linked to one mobile number |
Currently, users can add up to five Aadhaar profiles within the app. However, all linked profiles must be registered with the same mobile number as the primary account holder. This ensures consistency and prevents unauthorized access.
UIDAI’s Vision for Digital Identity Access
By launching this app, UIDAI continues to advance India’s Digital Identity Ecosystem. The agency emphasizes that the new platform will reduce dependency on physical Aadhaar cards and enhance the convenience of digital identity verification. With improved security, simplified sharing, and cross-platform compatibility, the app aligns with India’s growing focus on digital public infrastructure.
UIDAI is expected to roll out additional updates in the coming months, potentially including biometric integration and offline verification tools to strengthen user privacy and accessibility.
