NEW DELHI, [DATE] – The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is set to revolutionize Aadhaar services with two groundbreaking initiatives:
-
QR Code-Based e-Aadhaar Sharing (Coming in weeks)
-
Remote Updates for Address/Details (Launching by November)
Key Features of New System
✔ Paperless Verification: Share masked/full e-Aadhaar via new UIDAI app
✔ Auto-Populated Details: Address updates using govt databases (PAN, passport, utility bills)
✔ Fraud Prevention: QR code system for hotels, trains, property registration
✔ Child Data Update Drive: Targeting 18 crore pending updates for 5-17 year olds
“Soon, citizens won’t need to visit centers for 90% of Aadhaar services,” said UIDAI CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar.
