Govt Launches New Aadhaar App With Face ID, QR Verification for Seamless, Paperless Authentication

In a major digital push, the government has unveiled a new Aadhaar mobile app that enables citizens to verify their identity securely and digitally, eliminating the need for physical Aadhaar cards or photocopies. The announcement was made by Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw through a video posted on X, showcasing the app’s enhanced security and user-friendly features.

Business News

Currently in its beta testing phase, the app is designed to simplify Aadhaar verification, bolster user privacy, and protect against data misuse. It introduces a host of upgrades, with the most significant being Face ID authentication, allowing Aadhaar holders to verify and share their details digitally—with consent—without needing a physical document.

Key Highlights of the App:

  • Face ID authentication adds a robust layer of security.
  • QR-code-based verification allows instant Aadhaar validation, much like UPI payments.
  • Users can share only essential data, ensuring greater control over personal information.
  • Eliminates the need to hand over Aadhaar photocopies at hotels, airports, or other checkpoints.
  • Prevents data leaks, forgery, or unauthorized edits.
  • Offers a faster and more private alternative to traditional ID verification methods.

Early Access for Select Users

The app has been rolled out as a pilot launch for early adopters, including registered participants of the Aadhaar Samvaad event. This phase will allow UIDAI to collect feedback from users and ecosystem partners before a wider rollout.

“Based on the feedback received from users and ecosystem partners, UIDAI will soon make it accessible to all,” the agency said in a statement.

QR Code Integration: A Game Changer

One of the standout features is its QR code verification system. Similar to UPI QR codes, Aadhaar QR codes will be placed at key touchpoints such as hotels, airports, and railway stations. Users can simply scan these codes via the app, and identity will be confirmed instantly using facial recognition.

This innovation will reduce dependency on paper copies and streamline ID checks across sectors.

Enhanced Security, Total Convenience

The digital approach offers numerous benefits:

  • Eliminates risks of document tampering, theft, or duplication
  • Provides biometric-backed identity confirmation
  • Ensures only the legitimate Aadhaar holder can authorize data sharing
  • Simplifies check-ins, bookings, and official verifications with just a smartphone
