Will help in reliable transactions

Let us tell you that Aadhaar is the world's most trusted digital ID. In the last decade, more than one billion Indians have expressed trust in Aadhaar. Authentication has been done through Aadhaar more than 100 billion times. The ministry says that this new change will help both the service provider and the receiver to make reliable transactions.

The Portal will work as a resource guide.

This portal will work as a resource guide and provide detailed SOPs for entities seeking authentication on how to apply and join for Aadhaar authentication. Face authentication can also be integrated into customer-facing apps of private entities, enabling anytime, anywhere authentication.
