UIDAI’s new Offline e‑KYC lets users download a digitally signed XML file from the Aadhaar App or myAadhaar portal, sharing only essential demographics while keeping the full ID confidential.
UIDAI has rolled out an Offline e‑KYC feature that allows residents to generate a secure, paperless verification file directly from the Aadhaar App or the myAadhaar portal.
The process involves downloading a digitally signed XML file that contains only the essential demographic details needed for verification.
To protect privacy, users set a share code that restricts the data shared to agencies, ensuring the full Aadhaar number is never exposed.
Agencies that accept Offline e‑KYC can validate the authenticity of the file by checking the digital signature against UIDAI’s publicly available public key.
This new capability reduces the need for physical documents and streamlines identity verification for a wide range of services.
