Google Wallet Introduces Aadhaar Digital ID Support for Secure Verification in India

Google has partnered with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to enable users in India to store their Aadhaar details securely as digital IDs in the Google Wallet app. This feature allows users to verify their identity or age using selective disclosure, sharing only necessary information without carrying physical cards. Currently, Aadhaar verification via Google Wallet is supported by select partners like PVR INOX and Bharat Matrimony, aiming to simplify identity checks while maintaining privacy and security.
