The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has onboarded 300 Offline Verification Seeking Entities (OVSEs) since the rollout of the Aadhaar App in January, expanding Aadhaar-based offline verification across sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, education, events and the gig economy.
The initiative aims to promote secure, consent-based and paperless identity verification while ensuring user privacy and data protection.
The Aadhaar App has recorded nearly 7.5 crore downloads so far. It has facilitated over 86 lakh mobile number updates, 22.16 lakh address updates and 40.25 lakh email updates.
Additionally, the app has recorded 4.6 crore biometric lock/unlock transactions and 3.61 lakh Aadhaar lock/unlock transactions, highlighting growing adoption of its privacy and security features.
The initiative aligns with the government's Digital India vision and aims to improve access to secure, technology-enabled public services.
