Government Launches New e-Aadhaar App to Streamline Digital Identity Access

The Government of India, through the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), is introducing a new and improved e-Aadhaar mobile application to enhance accessibility, security, and efficiency in managing Aadhaar-based services. As more citizens and businesses adopt digital-first workflows, this app is a timely addition to India’s broader digital transformation initiatives.

Key Features of the New e-Aadhaar App

Secure Aadhaar Access: Users can securely download their Aadhaar and store it digitally without relying on third-party apps or portals.

Biometric Authentication: The app supports biometric login options, removing the need for password-based access and increasing security.

Simplified Document Sharing: Aadhaar credentials can be shared in a controlled, encrypted format helpful for quick identity verification.

User-Friendly Design: A modern, intuitive interface designed for easy navigation and multi-language support.

Real-Time Verification: The app allows real-time identity validation, which can accelerate onboarding across sectors like banking, telecom, and employment.

For official updates and to download the app once launched, users can visit the UIDAI portal: https://uidai.gov.in
