Carrying photocopies of your Aadhaar card for airport identity checks may soon become unnecessary. The new Aadhaar App lets travellers verify their identity digitally, allowing participating airports to confirm passenger details through a smartphone instead of paper documents.
For Indian travellers, that could mean a quicker trip from the airport entrance to the check-in counter, especially during busy travel periods.
What the New Aadhaar App Does
The app allows Aadhaar holders to authenticate their identity digitally whenever verification is required. Instead of handing over a physical Aadhaar card or photocopy, users can share only the required information through secure digital authentication.
This also gives travellers greater control over the personal data they disclose during the verification process.
