UIDAI Onboards 300 Entities to Expand Aadhaar Offline Verification Across Sectors
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has onboarded 300 Offline Verification Seeking Entities (OVSEs) since January 2026, expanding Aadhaar's offline verification system across sectors like hospitality, healthcare, education, events, and the gig economy. This initiative enables users to verify their identity digitally via the Aadhaar App without submitting physical copies of Aadhaar cards, enhancing privacy and reducing paperwork. The system operates on user consent, limiting data sharing and aligning with privacy laws such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
