Use Aadhaar Virtual ID to Secure your Aadhaar Details
Considering the privacy of the personal data including the demographic and biometric information mentioned on the Aadhaar card, UIDAI has recently decided to come up with a unique feature, termed as Aadhaar Virtual ID.
The Aadhaar Virtual ID offers limited KYC access providing only that much information which is required for verification rather than offering complete details of an individual's Aadhaar card.
What is an Aadhaar Virtual ID?
The Aadhaar Virtual ID consists of 16-digit random numbers that is mapped to an individual's Aadhaar card at the back end. An Aadhaar card holder using the virtual ID need not submit his Aadhaar number every time for verification purpose, instead he can generate a Virtual ID and use it for various verification purposes like mobile number, bank and other financial documents.
The Aadhaar Virtual ID gives access to the biometric information of an Aadhaar card holder along with the basic details like name, address and photograph that are sufficient for the e-KYC. Unlike in the past, the agency will not know the 12-digit Aadhaar number and other personal details.
