UIDAI New Update: Nowadays, the Aadhaar card is considered an essential document. Carrying out any government or non-government task without it has become difficult. Whether you are filling out a government form, opening a bank account, enrolling in school, or handling financial matters, the Aadhaar card is required. It is no longer just a document; it has become an integral part of people’s lives.

UIDAI is now offering a new facility to Aadhaar cardholders that makes hotel check-ins easier and more convenient than ever. Instead of submitting a physical photocopy of your Aadhaar card, you can now digitally verify your identity using the Aadhaar app. This reduces paper usage and simplifies the check-in process. Let’s take a closer look at this feature.

How to check in at a hotel using the Aadhaar app?
Users can now digitally present their identity at hotels using the Aadhaar app. Verification can be completed by scanning a QR code or through an OTP (One-Time Password). This makes the identity verification process much easier for the hotel.

Benefits of UIDAI’s new facility
Users will no longer need to provide a photocopy of their Aadhaar card to prove their identity; instead, they can verify it digitally. Digital verification eliminates the need to share full Aadhaar details via photocopies, thereby reducing the risk of personal information being misused. This digital approach makes hotel check-ins quick and straightforward, while the reduction in paperwork adds to the overall convenience of the process.

How was it done previously?
Previously, checking into a hotel often required submitting a physical photocopy of the Aadhaar card. Now, the option to verify identity digitally via the app is available. This can save you from having to repeatedly submit photocopies of your Aadhaar card.
