No need to carry your Aadhaar Card anymore
The feature that UIDAI has emphasized the most in its post is getting rid of the physical Aadhaar Card. After the launch of the full version of the Aadhaar app, there will be no need to carry the card for identity verification. Identity verification will be easily possible through your mobile phone when needed.
What's new in the full version of the Aadhaar app?
After the launch, several changes will be seen in the Aadhaar App. The most important change is that now users will be able to easily verify not only their own Aadhaar but also the Aadhaar of another person. Until now, the Aadhaar app was limited to simply displaying your Aadhaar card or sharing details via a QR code.
In the existing system, the other person couldn't easily verify the Aadhaar card's validity by scanning the QR code, which often led to delays in verification. However, this problem could be resolved with the release of the full version. The new features will make Aadhaar verification faster, easier, and more reliable, allowing identity-related tasks to be completed in minutes. Furthermore, in hotels, offices, and other places where Aadhaar verification is required, app-based verification will allow the process to be completed in just minutes.
These new features may be included in the update:
After the update to the new Aadhaar app, users will be able to update their name, mobile number, email address, and address on their Aadhaar card themselves.
