The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced an updated 'QR code' to provide an extra layer of privacy to Aadhaar.

It holds non-sensitive details, such as name, address, photo, and date of birth, and can be used for offline user verification without the 12-digit ID number.

The new QR code can be used in offline mode in a way that will safeguard against any tampering of documents.

The CEO of UIDAI, Ajay Bhushan Pandey, said the QR code is a landmark development which will allow everyone to establish their identity through offline verification without giving out Aadhaar number.

He added that one will have to go through the authentication process only in those places where Aadhaar number is required under the law including banks, telecom companies, or for availing subsidies.

Aadhaar holders can download and print their biometric ID with the QR code from the website of UIDAI or its mobile app. Users can manually blacken the Aadhaar number and use the printout with the new QR code for establishing their identity, offline too.
