Aadhaar Validation API
Verify an Indian Aadhaar number and get essential identity insights, confirming the number is valid and in use.
Overview
What the Aadhaar Validation API does
Aadhaar Validation checks an Aadhaar number and returns the identity insights available against it, confirming the number is well-formed and recognised.
Aadhaar is the most widely held identity credential in India, which makes it the natural anchor for onboarding. Validating the number before the rest of your flow depends on it prevents effort being spent on a typo or a fabricated digit string.
