The Unique Identification Authority of India  has rolled out a powerful update to the Aadhaar ecosystem — making it easier than ever to manage all family members’ Aadhaar profiles from one place. The change is being delivered through the newly launched Aadhaar mobile app, and it has the potential to simplify identity management for millions of indian families.

1. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 One App, Multiple Aadhaar Profiles

For the first time, UIDAI’s Aadhaar app allows you to add and manage Aadhaar profiles of up to five family members from one device. You can view and update details for children, elderly parents, or other dependents without juggling multiple logins. Currently, all profiles must share the same registered mobile number for verification.

2. 📲 What You Can Do with Family Profiles

Once linked within the Aadhaar app, you can:

• Manage updates like mobile number and address without repeated centre visits.
• View Aadhaar details digitally for each family member.
• Share their Aadhaar information securely, if needed for verification.

This centralised access brings family Aadhaar management right into your pocket — ideal for busy households.

3. 🆔 No More Carrying Multiple Cards

With family Aadhaar profiles in the app, you don’t need to carry physical cards for every person. The wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital profiles act as secure e‑Aadhaar identities that can be shown when required — at banks, government offices, or for services. This helps you avoid misplacing cards or carrying stacks of documents.

4. 🔐 Safety First: Strong Privacy Controls

UIDAI has built the app with privacy and security in mind:

• You can set up biometric locks or data-face authentication to protect access.
• Only selective Aadhaar details (like name or photo) are shared when required, not the full 12‑digit number.
• Offline verification via QR code means no photocopies of Aadhaar cards are needed for many services.

This makes sharing family Aadhaar info safer than ever before.

5. 🛠️ Easy Updates Without Centre Visits

Thanks to the new app feature, you can now update Aadhaar‑linked mobile numbers and addresses for family members straight from the mobile interdata-face — eliminating the long queues at enrolment centres. The update interdata-face appears right on the home screen of the app.

6. 🔎 Offline Aadhaar Verification Means Less Paperwork

The app also lets you use offline Aadhaar verification, which means:

• Use a QR code generated in the app for identity verification.
• No need to share photocopies of Aadhaar at hotels, offices, or banks.
• Family members’ QR codes can also be stored and used securely.

This is especially useful for travel, education, and official documentation.

7. 📍 How to Get Started

Download the official Aadhaar app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Set up your Aadhaar profile using your Aadhaar number and registered mobile OTP.

Add family members’ Aadhaar cards in the Profile section (up to five).

Use the app to view, update, or share details securely.

This update marks a big move toward a more digital, family‑friendly Aadhaar experience.

8. 💡 Why This Update Matters

✔ Makes Aadhaar easier for families to manage
✔ Reduces need to visit enrolment centres
✔ Enhances data privacy and security
✔ Supports paperless verification for everyday tasks

It’s a significant step toward a more modern, digital‑first Aadhaar ecosystem that keeps families’ identity needs in one place — safe, simple, and accessible.
