Verify your domestic help and driver instantly with the new Aadhaar app; fake identities will be exposed in just one minute..
Home security is no longer limited to just locks and cameras. Therefore, being careless about verifying the identity of your driver, maid, or guard can be very costly. In today's world, trusting someone based solely on their Aadhaar card is not considered safe, as in many cases, people obtain jobs in homes using fake identities. To mitigate this risk, UIDAI has launched a new Aadhaar app, which allows ordinary citizens to verify Aadhaar cards themselves, in just a few minutes, without the need for any agency or police intervention. This means you can now verify the Aadhaar details of your domestic staff yourself and keep your home safe.
Why is home security important?
Nowadays, cases of theft and fraud are increasing in both cities and villages. In most incidents, it has been observed that the perpetrators gather information about the house before committing the crime. Sometimes, they start working in the house as drivers, maids, or guards. In such cases, failing to properly verify their identity can pose a threat to both the family and their property.
How does fraud happen with fake Aadhaar cards?
Often, criminals obtain jobs by creating fake Aadhaar cards. When an incident occurs, and the police begin their investigation, it is discovered that the given Aadhaar number does not exist in the records. This makes it difficult to apprehend the culprit. Therefore, verifying the Aadhaar card beforehand is extremely important.
What is the new UIDAI Aadhaar App?
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has recently launched a new Aadhaar app. UIDAI announced on the social media platform X that this app allows ordinary people to verify whether an Aadhaar card is genuine or fake. It features a special QR code scanner.
How does the QR code scanner feature work?
This feature scans the QR code printed on the Aadhaar card. Upon scanning, the genuine information associated with that Aadhaar card, such as name, photo, and other necessary details, appears on the mobile screen. This means that if the card is genuine, the information will immediately appear on the mobile screen, and if it is fake, no data will be displayed. Aadhaar App Verification Method
Step 1 - First, download the Aadhaar App from the official app store on your smartphone.
Step 2 - After the app is installed, log in using your Aadhaar number.
Step 3 - After logging in, you will be able to access all the features of the app.
Step 4 - Now turn on the scanner option.
Step 5 - Now scan the QR code visible on the Aadhaar card of the driver, maid, or guard.
Step 6 - Match the information displayed on the screen with the person standing in front of you. If the Aadhaar card is fake, its information will not appear on the app.
This Aadhaar App is available on both Android and iOS platforms. Users can download it for free and perform verification without any additional fees.
Verifying household staff is easy with the Aadhaar App
Verifying household staff has now become very easy. With the help of this new Aadhaar App, you can find out in just a few minutes whether the person in front of you is genuine or not. This small precaution ensures the safety of not only your property but also your family. This app can help curb crimes committed using fake Aadhaar cards.
