Complementing the growing adoption of the Aadhaar App among residents, UIDAI has onboarded 300 Offline Verification Seeking Entities (OVSEs), since its rollout in January. This marks a significant step towards expanding the use of Aadhaar-based offline verification across sectors ranging from hotels, hospitality, healthcare, education, events, gig economy, and consumer-facing players.
This milestone marks a major advancement in enabling secure, consent-based, and paperless verification through Aadhaar offline verification mechanism — empowering both service providers and residents, alike. The onboarding of these OVSE partners reflects growing confidence in Aadhaar-enabled, privacy-first digital verification frameworks that prioritise user control while ensuring ease of access and data minimisation in alignment with the provisions of DPDP Act.
By bringing essential services to residents' smartphones and expanding the institutional ecosystem for offline verification, UIDAI is strengthening the digital identity experience for residents as well as organisations. The Aadhaar App continues to gain traction, with nearly 7.5 crore downloads recorded so far.
