Step-by-step instructions
-
1
Always start from UIDAI
Only use uidai.gov.in or the mAadhaar app - never a third-party site asking for Aadhaar details.
-
2
Check the URL and padlock
Confirm the address bar shows "uidai.gov.in" with a secure padlock icon.
-
3
Use masked Aadhaar where possible
Download a masked e-Aadhaar (last 4 digits visible) for general sharing purposes.
-
4
Verify with OTP, never share it
Aadhaar OTPs are for your verification only - never share them with anyone over phone/email.
-
5
Lock your biometrics when not needed
Use the "Aadhaar Lock/Unlock" feature to protect biometric data from misuse.
Before you finish
Processes and online services can change. Check the latest instructions, eligibility requirements, fees, deadlines and document requirements on the relevant official website before submitting anything important.
Checklist
- Confirm official uidai.gov.in domain
- Registered mobile number for OTP
- Never share OTP or full Aadhaar number publicly
