UIDAI Introduces Aadhaar App Feature for Digital Hotel Check-Ins Without Physical ID

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced a feature in the Aadhaar App that enables hotel check-ins without physical identity documents. Users authenticate their identity via face verification on the app, which then generates a QR code for instant verification by hotel staff. This digital process aims to streamline check-ins, enhance privacy by sharing only necessary data, and reduce reliance on physical Aadhaar cards or photocopies, as demonstrated in a UIDAI promotional video released on March 6, 2026.
