Aadhaar Update: When it comes to any Aadhaar card-related work, the first thought that comes to mind is long lines and token systems. But times have changed! UIDAI has launched its new and advanced mAadhaar App, which has virtually eliminated the need to visit an Aadhaar center.
Now, you can perform crucial tasks like updating your mobile number, changing your address, locking your biometrics, and identity verification from your mobile phone in a jiffy. This app will not only save you time but also keep your data more secure and under your control than ever before.
Update your mobile number and address
The most revolutionary benefit of the new Aadhaar app is that you no longer need to visit a government office or bank for basic updates. You can directly initiate the process of changing your mobile number and home address by going to the ‘Home’ section of the app. Simply fill in the required information, upload the relevant documents, and your request will be submitted.
Additionally, the app’s ‘Profile’ section is now smarter than ever. You no longer need to create separate logins for each family member. You can add Aadhaar accounts for up to five family members in a single app. Whether managing children’s Aadhaar or seniors’, everything is possible from one place.
Biometrics and Security
In the digital age, Aadhaar security is a major concern. The new Aadhaar app gives users complete control over their privacy. You can now lock your fingerprint, face, and iris data at any time through the app. Once locked, no one will be able to use your Aadhaar without your permission. You can also temporarily unlock it if needed.
Not only this, but you can also view on your phone when, where, and for what purpose your Aadhaar has been used. This Authentication History feature helps you avoid any kind of fraud. With support for 13 Indian languages, this app has now become a security shield for everyone, from rural to urban.
Paperless Verification
It’s no longer mandatory to provide your Aadhaar number or submit a photocopy to prove your identity. The new app offers impressive features like Offline Verification and Selective Share.
- This means you can decide for yourself what you want to show to the other person—just your name and photo, or your full address and age.
- Now, at a hotel, office, or SIM card center, you just need to scan the QR code in the app.
- No more photocopying, no more worrying about printouts, no more waiting for OTPs. Just show your phone, and you’re done.
