UIDAI Rolls Out Contact Card Feature on Aadhaar App: What You Need to Know

UIDAI has added a highly practical feature to its Aadhaar app , making identity sharing safer and simpler than ever. Called My Contact Card, this new option lets users share verified personal details instantly through a QR code, without revealing their Aadhaar number. Designed for everyday use, the feature focuses on convenience, control, and data privacy.

What Is My Contact Card?

My Contact Card is a new feature in the Aadhaar app that allows users to securely share verified details such as name, mobile number, email ID, and address. These details come directly from Aadhaar records, ensuring authenticity while preventing fake or altered information. Most importantly, the user stays fully in control of what is shared.

Why Was This Feature Introduced?

In many situations, hotels, offices, deliveries, or service requests, people are asked to share Aadhaar details even when it’s not necessary. This increases the risk of data misuse. My Contact Card solves this problem by allowing users to share only essential contact information, keeping the Aadhaar number private and reducing the chances of data leaks.

How to Use My Contact Card in the Aadhaar App

Using this feature is quick and easy:

• Log in to the Aadhaar app on your smartphone.
• Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view additional options.
• Under the Services section, tap on My Contact Card.
• A QR code will appear, which others can scan to save your verified details.
• You can also share the details directly via other apps using the share button below the QR code.

A Small Feature with Big Benefits

My Contact Card makes identity sharing faster, safer, and more practical for daily needs. By limiting data exposure and giving users full control, UIDAI has taken a smart step toward stronger digital privacy, without compromising on convenience.
