New Delhi, June 17, 2025 – In a major step toward digital empowerment and identity security, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has rolled out a new mobile app that promises to transform the way Aadhaar is used and managed. Citizens will no longer need to carry or submit photocopies of their Aadhaar cards for verification purposes — they can now share their masked Aadhaar digitally through this app in a secure manner.
Goodbye Photocopies, Hello QR Code Verification
According to UIDAI, the newly launched Aadhaar app comes equipped with QR code-based sharing that allows users to share their Aadhaar or a masked version digitally, eliminating the need for physical documents. Whether it’s for hotel check-ins, railway identity checks, or routine verifications, users can now safely prove their identity through the app without fear of misuse.
Major Aadhaar Updates Now Possible from Home
UIDAI CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar confirmed that most Aadhaar-related services are being made accessible remotely, except for biometric authentication (fingerprint and iris). With the new app, users will now be able to:
Update address and phone number
Correct date of birth
Change name (under permitted conditions)
View Aadhaar history and generate masked Aadhaar
All of this can be done from the comfort of your home — no need to visit Aadhaar Seva Kendras for these tasks anymore.
Seamless Document Integration with Government Databases
The upcoming system will fetch your information directly from linked government databases like:
Birth Certificates
10th Grade Mark Sheets
Driving Licenses
PAN Cards
Passports
PDS and MNREGA records
This integration aims to eliminate the risk of Aadhaar creation through fake documents and drastically reduce paperwork and manual verifications. UIDAI also plans to use utility databases such as electricity bills to verify addresses more accurately.
Over 1 Lakh Devices to Be Upgraded
As per official sources, nearly 1 lakh Aadhaar registration machines across India are being updated. 2,000 devices have already been upgraded with the latest app-based tool, and the rollout is expected to accelerate in the coming months.
Why This Matters
The UIDAI’s new initiative comes at a time when Aadhaar fraud and document misuse are becoming major concerns. This digital overhaul is designed to enhance privacy, reduce fraud, and simplify user experience. The secure QR sharing and self-service updates also promote a paperless, contactless ecosystem in line with India’s Digital India vision.
How to Get Started
Download the new Aadhaar app from your mobile app store
Register using your Aadhaar number and OTP
Enable masked Aadhaar and QR sharing for safe verification
Use the dashboard to edit personal details, check status, and download digital Aadhaar copies
Conclusion
The UIDAI’s new Aadhaar app is not just an update — it’s a game-changing leap in how Indians interact with their identity documents. By minimizing physical paperwork and maximizing data privacy and user control, this app is set to become an essential tool for every Indian citizen in the digital era.
