Nowadays, the Aadhaar card is a vital and essential identification document that proves your identity. Everywhere, you're asked for your Aadhaar card first.
From banking transactions to hotel check-ins, it's the first thing you're asked for. However, many cases of fraud involving Aadhaar cards have been reported these days. Cases of forgery are also on the rise.
Many people are given fake Aadhaar card copies, claiming they have the original. Therefore, it's important to be extra cautious when making an Aadhaar card. Now, you can check whether your Aadhaar card is genuine or fake in just a few seconds. Let's find out how.
UIDAI has introduced a unique security feature that allows you to instantly identify a fake Aadhaar card by scanning it with your mobile phone. This method is not only easy but also provides accurate information within seconds. The Aadhaar QR Code Scanner is a digital feature within the Aadhaar app. It allows you to scan your Aadhaar card's QR code and instantly verify the information contained on it. Important information such as name, date of birth, and photo are securely displayed to you.
How to scan an Aadhaar QR code?
Step 1 - First, download the official UIDAI Aadhaar app on your mobile. Once you open the app, you'll see a "QR Code Scanner" or "Scan QR" option.
Step 2 - Then scan the QR code with your camera. Clicking the scan option will open your phone's camera. Now, hold the Aadhaar card's QR code in front of the camera and scan it.
Step 3 - Once the QR code is scanned, the app will decode the encrypted data it contains. Information such as your name, photo, and date of birth will appear on the screen.
Step 4 - If the QR code is correct and the data is clear, the Aadhaar card is genuine. If it doesn't scan or displays incorrect information, it may be fake.
