The Aadhaar card has become one of the most important identity documents for every Indian. It is required for SIM card activation, bank KYC, passport verification, government schemes, and many other services. Earlier, people had to carry a physical Aadhaar card everywhere. But now, UIDAI has made this process easier with a digital Aadhaar app called mAadhaar.

The mAadhaar app allows you to download, store, and carry your Aadhaar card securely on your mobile phone. It works like a digital wallet for Aadhaar. You don’t have to worry about losing your physical Aadhaar card anymore.

What is mAadhaar App?

mAadhaar is the official mobile app developed by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India). It allows Aadhaar cardholders to keep a digital version of their Aadhaar on their mobile phone and use Aadhaar services without visiting any center.

You can:

  • Download Aadhaar (Regular Aadhaar or Masked Aadhaar)
  • Update your Aadhaar address
  • Lock/unlock Aadhaar number and biometrics
  • Generate TOTP (Time-based OTP) without mobile network
  • Do paperless eKYC and share secure Aadhaar QR / XML
  • Add up to 3 Aadhaar profiles (family members)

The mAadhaar digital Aadhaar is accepted as valid identity proof at:

It is just as legally valid as your physical Aadhaar card.
