Client identification in India

Main Page

Digital identification numbers are the largest in the world in India. Known as 'Aadhaar', this digital identity is issued by the Indian government under the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act 2016 (the Aadhaar Act) through a centralised agency called Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Aadhaars are 12-digit random numbers issued by the UIDAI to Indians who have been verified.1

Any citizen who submits the required demographic and biometric information is eligible for Aadhaar. Foreign nationals can obtain an Aadhaar identity after residing in India for 182 days continuously. The Aadhaar system is linked to several government initiatives to promote social and financial inclusion.1
