Benefits of
verifying with our
API

Fast, secure, and compliant verification built for real-world scale.

No AUA or KUA licence needed

Offline verification is open to Offline Verification Seeking Entities, so you can go live without waiting on an Aadhaar authentication licence or a sponsor bank.

Masked by design

Responses carry only the last four digits of the Aadhaar number alongside the demographic fields you need, keeping full Aadhaar numbers out of your database.

Signature-verified, not self-reported

Every field is read from a UIDAI-signed XML, QR code or DigiLocker document, so edited PDFs, cropped screenshots and re-typed details fail the check.

Consent captured with the record

Purpose, timestamp and the resident's consent are stored against every verification, so internal audits and regulator reviews are straightforward.

About the Aadhaar Verification API

What is offline Aadhaar verification?

Offline Aadhaar verification lets you confirm a person's Aadhaar-linked identity details without calling UIDAI's authentication endpoints. The resident shares a UIDAI-signed artefact, either a Paperless Offline e-KYC XML with its share code, the Secure QR code printed on an e-Aadhaar or PVC card, or an Aadhaar document released through DigiLocker. Veriqos checks the UIDAI digital signature on that artefact, confirms it has not been tampered with, and returns the demographic fields it contains. Because no OTP or biometric authentication is involved, this route is open to any Offline Verification Seeking Entity under the Aadhaar (Authentication and Offline Verification) Regulations, 2021, which makes it the fastest Aadhaar route for most product and compliance teams to adopt.

UIDAI signature and document integrity

We validate the UIDAI digital signature and certificate chain on the offline XML, Secure QR or DigiLocker document and reject anything altered, expired or re-signed.

Demographic fields and match results

Name, date or year of birth, gender, masked Aadhaar and address are extracted, and where you supply your own values they are compared so you get a clear match or mismatch instead of raw text.

How it Works

Your user connects DigiLocker, uploads a Paperless Offline e-KYC ZIP with its share code, or lets you scan the Secure QR on an e-Aadhaar or PVC card.
We verify the UIDAI signature, open the file with the share code, and extract masked Aadhaar, name, date or year of birth, gender, address and photo.
One JSON response returns the parsed fields, match results against the data you already hold, and a reference ID linked to the stored consent.

How the Aadhaar Verification API works

Security &
Compliance

Aadhaar data carries specific obligations, and the offline route is designed to keep as little of it in your stack as possible. Veriqos handles the signed artefact, returns masked output only, and keeps an auditable trail of consent and stated purpose.

  • Offline route only: This API does not perform OTP or biometric Aadhaar authentication, so your integration stays inside what the offline verification framework permits.
  • Full Aadhaar numbers are never returned: Output is masked to the last four digits, in line with Section 8A of the Aadhaar Act and UIDAI's masking guidance.
  • Encrypted in transit and at rest: Artefacts move over TLS 1.2 or higher and are encrypted at rest, and share codes are used in memory rather than retained.
  • Consent, purpose and retention controls: Every request records consent and stated purpose, and retention windows are configurable so you can align the API with your DPDP Act policies.

No. Offline verification does not use UIDAI's authentication endpoints, so it is available to Offline Verification Seeking Entities. You still register your purpose and follow the offline verification regulations, and our team will walk you through what that involves.
No. There is no OTP-based eKYC and no biometric capture here. Verification happens on the UIDAI-signed artefact the resident shares with you, or on the Aadhaar document they release from DigiLocker.
Both give you UIDAI-signed data. With DigiLocker the resident authorises release from their own DigiLocker account, which is smoother on mobile. With offline XML they download a ZIP from the UIDAI site and give you the share code. Veriqos supports both through a single integration.
No. You receive the last four digits along with the demographic fields, which is what regulated onboarding flows are expected to keep.
Signature validation and parsing usually complete in under two seconds. DigiLocker flows also depend on how quickly the resident authorises the release.
