Google Wallet now supports Aadhaar in India: Here’s How to Add Aadhar as digital ID on your phone

Google just made identity verification a lot less annoying. Users in India can now save their Aadhaar Verifiable Credentials directly in Google Wallet—no digging through a physical card or logging into portals mid-queue. The rollout comes from Google’s ongoing partnership with UIDAI and brings Aadhaar into the same digital wallet already used for boarding passes and bank cards.

The credential sits encrypted on your device, not your Google Account, which matters. Only the specific details a verifier needs get shared—a feature called selective disclosure. So if a cinema is just checking your age, they don’t see your full Aadhaar data.
