UIDAI onboards 300 offline verification seeking entities

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has onboarded 300 ‘offline verification-seeking entities’, which is expected to reduce the collection of physical Aadhaar copies as ID proof.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said the move marks a significant step towards expanding the use of Aadhaar-based offline verification across sectors ranging from hotels, hospitality, healthcare, education, events, gig economy, and consumer-facing players.
