Aadhaar WHAT Aadhaar IS Each individual will be given a single unique ID number of 12 digits For every resident, including children Will collect demographic and biometric information to establish uniqueness of individual Voluntary For every resident, irrespective of existing documentation UIDAI will enable a universal identity infrastructure that any ID based application like Ration Card, Job Card, Swastha Bima etc. can use UIDAI will give a "Yes" or "No" response for any authentication queries Aadhaar means FOUNDATION The Government of India conceived the idea of having a unique form of identification for residents of India. Base the identity of an individual on a Unique Number which is linked to the individual's demographic and biometric information. The features of this Unique Number will be as follows:   It will be a randomly generated twelve digit number for every resident of India. Example: 2653 8564 4663. This number will be called the Unique Identification (UID) Number or Aadhaar number. The number will be unique, which means, no two residents will have the same number. No resident can have two numbers because Aadhaar is based not just on standard information like name, address, age but also on biometric information which is unique to every person. To avoid frauds, the Aadhaar number will have no additional information within its value or structure. It will be a ‘random’ number like the result of a lottery draw or like throwing a dice. AADHAR will be used to prove identity not citizenship. It will not be compulsory for a resident of India to get an Aadhaar number. It will be voluntary. However in future, certain service providers (government or private agencies) may require a person to have an Aadhaar number to deliver services. For example, in future, the Public Distribution System (PDS) department may issue ration cards based on an individual’s Aadhaar number and that number will appear on the ration card.

WHAT AADHAR ISN’T Another card One per family Establishes citizenship and is only for Indians Will collect profiling information such as caste, religion, language Mandatory Only for individuals who possess identification documents Individuals can obtain multiple Aadhaar Aadhaar will replace all other IDs UIDAI information will be accessible to public and private agencies
