New Delhi:The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced a new Aadhaar app that will revolutionise identity verification in India by offering a secure, paperless alternative.

The app, set to launch soon, will enable offline Aadhaar verification, giving users full control over their data while ensuring privacy and security.

According to UIDAI officials, the app will allow users to verify their identity without sharing sensitive Aadhaar details, reducing the risk of misuse and fraud.

It will also offer options to share selective Aadhaar information or use offline face verification, ensuring convenience even in areas with limited internet connectivity.

The officials also touched upon several aspects of offline verification and its potential use cases, such as hotel check-ins, residential society entry, and event access.

They explained the various modes of offline verification, including QR-based verification, which will allow seamless identity confirmation without the need for physical Aadhaar copies.

The app's flexibility enables users to verify and share complete or selective Aadhaar information, and it also supports offline face verification to confirm proof of presence.
