1. Introducing Virtual IDs (VIDs)

· Instead of sharing your full Aadhaar number, you can generate a 16-digit Virtual ID.

· VIDs can be used for KYC, verification, and government services without exposing your real Aadhaar number.

· Each VID is temporary and can be regenerated anytime.

2. Selective Sharing of Aadhaar Info

· Aadhaar allows you to share only specific data like:

o Name

o Age

o Address

· You don’t need to reveal sensitive details like your full Aadhaar number or biometric data.

3. How to Generate a Virtual ID

1. Visit the UIDAI portal (https://uidai.gov.in)

2. Log in with your Aadhaar number and OTP

3. Click “Generate VID”

4. Use the VID for official verifications instead of your Aadhaar

4. Benefits of Using VID

· Protects your identity from misuse or fraud

· Prevents unauthorized access to your Aadhaar number

· Makes it safer to share information online

5. Other Safety Tips

· Never share your Aadhaar OTP with anyone

· Use biometric or VID verification only on official portals

· Regularly check your Aadhaar activity on the uidai portal for unauthorized access

 Bottom Line

With Virtual IDs and selective sharing, your Aadhaar can now stay secure and private, while still letting you access services safely.
