UIDAI To Launch Aadhaar Mobile App For Digital Updates By Year-End

(MENAFN- KNN India) New Delhi, Sep 19 (KNN) The government is developing a mobile application that will allow Aadhaar holders to update their personal details digitally, reducing the need for physical visits to enrolment centres.

The initiative is being spearheaded by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and is expected to launch by the end of this year, according to officials.

The upcoming app will enable users to update key details such as name, residential address, and date of birth through a secure, user-friendly interface.

By integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Face ID technology, the application is designed to provide seamless and secure access to Aadhaar services.

From November, Aadhaar users will be required to visit enrolment centres only for biometric authentication, including fingerprint and iris scans.

Other updates will be processed online, a move aimed at simplifying procedures, reducing paperwork, curbing identity fraud risks, and speeding up the overall update process.

UIDAI also plans to integrate the app with verified government databases to automatically fetch supporting documents such as birth certificates, PAN cards, passports, driving licences, ration cards under the Public Distribution System (PDS), and MNREGA records.

Utility bill details, such as electricity connections, may also be incorporated to strengthen address verification.

In a parallel move to improve governance, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) recently launched the Aadhaar Good Governance Portal.

The platform is designed to streamline the submission and approval of authentication requests, enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and inclusivity across Aadhaar-linked services.
