Aadhaar Masking: How to Share a Copy of Your Aadhaar Without Showing the Full 12 Digits

Aadhaar is a 12-digit number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to each individual in India. It is a crucial document that is required by several organisations to access government-issued benefits and welfare schemes. Apart from this, Aadhaar also serves as a proof of identity for services such as admissions, banking, driving license, passport, and various forms. Due to its increasing importance concerning financial and personal verification processes, Aadhaar details must be securely stored, and one of the ways to do so is by using a masked Aadhaar.

What is Masked Aadhaar?

Masked Aadhaar is a version of the Aadhaar card where the first eight digits of the identification number are hidden and only the last four digits are visible. The hidden numbers are replaced with “xxxx-xxxx”. This prevents applications and organisations from accessing your complete Aadhaar details, promising increased privacy and less risk of identity theft and fraud.

It can be used as an alternative to the traditional Aadhaar card and is equally valid, as per the Aadhaar Act, 2016. A masked Aadhaar can be used for most e-KYC purposes, such as ticket and hotel bookings, job applications, and more, although there may be certain cases where an unmasked Aadhaar is required.

You can download a masked Aadhaar online with just a few easy-to-follow steps.
