Aadhar card is as important for us as food and water. It has become an essential document in our country. Whether you want to apply for a job, get admission to a college or hire a tenant or a servant, Aadhar is asked for everywhere. However, as the usefulness of the Aadhar card has increased, the fraud caused by it has also increased.
It is often seen that we manage with just the Aadhar number because through it we can get the complete details of the person. However, this is not correct. Accepting the Aadhar number as correct without any verification can put you in trouble. ActIt is not necessary that every 12-digit number be Aadhar.
You can verify Aadhar.
If we ask for an Aadhar number from someone, then it is necessary to verify it, so that it can be known whether the Aadhar number is correct or not. UIDAI provides us with the facility to verify any Aadhar number. This facility is free, that is, no fee is charged for it.
How to verify
To verify any Aadhaar, we have to go to UIDAI's website uidai.gov.in. After this, by clicking on 'My Aadhaar', you will reach 'Aadhaar Number Verify'. Here you have to enter the Aadhaar number which you want to verify. After this, enter the security code and click on Verify. As soon as you click, you will know whether the number entered by you is an Aadhaar card or not and whether it is active or not, this information will also be known.
Verification can also be done through the app.
You can also verify the Aadhaar number through the mobile app. For this, you have to download the mAadhaar app. In this, you will get two options for Aadhaar verification. On one option, you will be able to verify by entering the Aadhaar number, in the second option, verification will be done by scanning the QR code on the Aadhaar card.
