The Indian authorities are preparing to bring in a mobile application that will make Aadhaar updates easier. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is making an e-Aadhaar app that will give the citizens the power to change their personal data like phone numbers, addresses, and ages straight from their smartphones. The purpose of the initiative is to lessen the reliance on physical Aadhaar centres for everyday changes.
At the moment, the process of changing Aadhaar records is a time-consuming one. The person has to go to a Seva Kendra, and submit the documents in front of the officer. But, the app will turn these steps into a digital process completely. As per Paisabazaar, users will have the power to change demographic details with just a few taps, thus there will be no need for them to travel and wait for a long time.
The application has been created in such a way that, it will be connected to the government databases that are already verified, and it will also be able to validate documents like passports, driving licenses, and birth certificates that support the user's claim, automatically. This aim of this integration is to speed up the update process and also avoid errors or fraudulent activities.
UIDAI has also made the app more secure. It will use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and face recognition technologies to verify users' identities thereby allowing only those authorized to change their information. Even though demographic data can be changed online, the user will still have to go to an Aadhaar center to change biometric data like fingerprints or iris scans thus, ensuring a security of data but still keeping it user-friendly.
The e-Aadhaar application offers numerous benefits. Aadhaar users will be able to take care of their documents from anywhere thus saving the hassle of handling papers, making a trip to the Aadhaar center and waiting in line. Documents verification will be done through AI and this will also help prevent identity theft, a concern that grows with the expansion of India’s digital ecosystem. Moreover, processing through the application will be done at lightning speed, thus the time taken for the whole process could go down from several days to just a few hours.
The e-Aadhaar application is said to be released by the end of 2025 according to reports and will be available on Android and iOS platforms.
