Always carrying a physical copy with you isn’t quite practical, the UIDAI launched the mAadhaar app, which serves as your digital Aadhaar copy, on-the-go.
What is mAadhaar?
mAadhaar is the official Aadhaar smartphone app launched by the UIDAI, to let users easily and conveniently access their Aadhaar details right from their smartphone, whenever and wherever they wish.
The app is available for download on all smartphones running on Android 5.0 and above.
Reportedly, an iOS version of the app is also in the works, and will be released soon.
Key features of the app
1) Biometric locking/unlocking: The mAadhaar app allows the user to lock or unlock their Aadhaar biometrics temporarily, in order to prevent misuse.
2) TOTP generation: In case the SMS-based OTP fails, you can use the app’s Time-based One-time password (TOTP) feature.
3) Generate or fetch VID: The app also lets you generate or fetch your VID, if required.
4) QR code/eKYC: Use QR code scan and electronic-KYC, instead of manual entry.
To download the mAadhaar app, follow this Google PlayStore link. Click on the Install button. Once the app is successfully installed, you’ll be required to set a 4-digit password to ensure app security. Finally add an Aadhaar profile to start accessing your Aadhaar on smartphone.
