Aadhaar Verification: Check If Your Aadhaar Is Genuine from Home

Kokila Chokkanathan
Your Aadhaar card is one of the most important identity documents in India. But how can you be sure that an Aadhaar card is real and active? The good news is, you can now verify it easily from your mobile or computer, sitting at home.


1. Why Verify Aadhaar?

Aadhaar is widely used for identity verification in:

  • Jobs
  • Renting or leasing houses
  • Banking services
  • Government schemes
Often, people do not check whether an Aadhaar card is correct or not. Verifying it ensures:

  • The Aadhaar is active and legitimate
  • You can hire a tenant or employee confidently
  • Reduces the risk of fraud
Remember, Aadhaar verification does not replace police verification, but it is a quick first step.


2. Verify Aadhaar on the uidai Website

Follow these simple steps to check your Aadhaar online:

Go to the official website: uidai.gov.in

Click on ‘My Aadhaar’

Under Aadhaar Services, select Verify Aadhaar Number

Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and captcha code

Click Verify

The next page will show the status of the Aadhaar—active or inactive. This immediately tells you whether the Aadhaar card is genuine.


3. Verify Aadhaar Using the mAadhaar App

The mAadhaar app is another convenient way to verify Aadhaar:

  • Option 1: Aadhaar Verify
