Overview

• Officials say the e-Aadhaar app is in advanced development for a rollout by the end of 2025, with reports indicating a possible debut as early as November and a planned soft launch.
• Users would be able to update core details such as name, date of birth and address on their phones, while biometric changes continue to require visits to Aadhaar enrolment centres.
• AI will cross-check information and the app will support Face ID for authentication to streamline updates and curb fraud.
• The system is expected to auto-fetch verified records from government sources, including PAN, passports, birth certificates, driving licences, ration cards, MNREGA records and electricity bills.
• MeitY has introduced an Aadhaar Good Governance Portal to speed and add transparency to authentication approvals, and users are advised to weigh urgency before waiting for the app.
