How to use Aadhaar app for identity verification at hotels
UIDAI shared a demonstration video on March 6, 2026.
Now, you can verify your identity at hotels and other spots using a QR code and face authentication; no more carrying your Aadhaar card or photocopies.
It's all about making things quicker and more secure.
Generate a QR code for instant verification
Just download the updated Aadhaar app from Google Play or the App Store.
Log in with your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and OTP, then set up Face ID or another biometric lock.
When you need to check in somewhere, scan your face in the app to generate a QR code for instant verification.
Your details stay masked for privacy.
Address updates, offline access, and more
The new features make life easier: manage up to five family profiles on one device, update address or phone number right from the app, and keep track of where you've used it.
Plus, it works offline; handy if you're traveling or in remote areas.
Beyond hotels, this could speed up hospital visits, gig worker checks, age proofs for movies, and even airport travel.
