Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is a government agency responsible for issuing a unique identification number called Aadhaar to Indian residents. This 12-digit number serves as a proof of identity and address, helping streamline government services, financial inclusion, and welfare programs. UIDAI collects biometric and demographic data to ensure each Aadhaar is unique and secure. Its goal is to create a reliable digital identity system, fostering transparency and efficiency in service delivery while protecting individuals’ personal information.
