Verify Aadhaar Number Online | Check Aadhaar Validity & Authenticity

Why You Should Verify Aadhaar

Verifying an Aadhaar number ensures that it is genuine, valid, and active in UIDAI’s central database.
This service is useful for:

• Residents confirming their own Aadhaar validity
• Employers or landlords verifying identity proof
• Banks or service providers checking KYC compliance
• Family members confirming reactivation or deactivation status

The UIDAI’s “Verify Aadhaar Number” service does not reveal personal data — it simply confirms whether the Aadhaar exists and is active.

Note (महत्वपूर्ण): Verification is always free and safe when done through the official UIDAI portal or the mAadhaar app.

1. Visit https://uidai.gov.in
2. Go to My Aadhaar → Aadhaar Services → Verify Aadhaar Number
3. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number
