UIDAI to launch new app for verification via QR code
Business Standard
|November 19, 2025
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will soon launch a new mobile application to enable smooth verification of the identity of users through quick-response (QR) codes, the agency’s Chief Executive Officer Bhuvnesh Kumar said.
Currently in the beta-testing phase, this app will eliminate the use of photocopies and other digital copies of Aadhaar cards used till date for offline verification, UIDAI officials explained during a webinar highlighting its features.
"With this new app, both the verifier and the user will be able to exchange details, but only with the user’s consent. The user can choose which details to share depending on the verification requirements. Aadhaar will share only those details with the offline verification agency," one of the officials said.
