If you’ve ever struggled with Aadhaar-related issues—be it downloading the card, updating your address, or verifying biometric security—the mAadhaar app could be your all-in-one solution. Designed by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India), this official app offers a secure, easy-to-use platform for all things Aadhaar.

Whether you're dealing with incorrect address details or need to add family members' Aadhaar profiles, mAadhaar brings Aadhaar services to your fingertips—no long queues or paperwork involved.

Why Download the mAadhaar App?

With Aadhaar now central to many official services, having a digital and accessible version of your Aadhaar card is more important than ever. The mAadhaar app not only allows you to download your Aadhaar card securely but also provides real-time access to services like biometric lock/unlock, update status, and more.

Here are the five most useful features of the mAadhaar app:

1. Download Aadhaar Anytime, Anywhere

The most basic yet essential function—you can download your Aadhaar card in PDF format using your registered mobile number and OTP. Once downloaded, this digital Aadhaar can be used for official verification almost anywhere and is valid just like the physical card.

No more waiting for a reprint or worrying about losing your physical Aadhaar—just carry it on your phone.

2. Update Your Address Online

Changed your residence? No need to visit an Aadhaar center. The app allows you to request an address update online. Simply upload a scanned copy of a valid address proof, and the update process will begin. It’s convenient, quick, and fully digital.

This is particularly useful for students, working professionals, and those frequently relocating for work or studies.

3. Check Update Status Instantly

After submitting any update—whether it’s name correction, birth date change, or address modification—you can use the mAadhaar app to track the status. All you need is your Aadhaar number and OTP.

This eliminates the need for repeated visits or follow-ups at physical centers.

4. Lock/Unlock Your Biometrics for Extra Security

One of the most powerful security features of the app is biometric lock/unlock. With this, users can lock their fingerprint and iris data to prevent misuse. Unless unlocked manually by the user, no one can access or use your biometrics for authentication.

This feature is a game-changer for safeguarding against identity theft or unauthorized Aadhaar use.

5. Add Up to 3 Family Profiles

The mAadhaar app allows you to manage up to three Aadhaar profiles on a single device. This makes it easier for you to handle Aadhaar-related tasks for your children, elderly parents, or spouse—all in one place.

This is especially beneficial for caretakers managing the digital lives of multiple family members.

How to Get Started with the mAadhaar App

Getting started is easy:

  • Go to Google Play Store (for Android) or Apple App Store (for iOS).

  • Download the mAadhaar app developed by UIDAI.

  • Use your registered mobile number to log in with an OTP.

  • Once logged in, you can access all Aadhaar services directly from the app.
