How to Check Where Your Aadhaar is Used?

It is now like a ritual to provide Aadhaar number for any identity proof. Be it for a gas connection or any banking transactions we always have our aadhaar handy and ready. But do we know how many times our aadhaar has been used for verification or for any monetary transactions?

You can check your Aadhaar authentication history by visiting UIDAI's website. You can verify that all activities relevant to Aadhar are initiated by you and no one else has sought Aadhaar authentication on your behalf by this form.

Aadhaar number holder may access details of all authentication records performed by, or by, any Authentication User Agency (AUA) in the last 6 months. However, a limit of 50 documents can be accessed at one point in time.

What are the details we can get from the Aadhaar Authentication history?

UIDAI logs the transaction in its ledger if you invoke Aadhaar to use a program. In the Aadhaar Authentication history, the resident will get the following details against any authentication performed by residents.

1. Auth Modality.
2. Date & Time of Authentication.
3. UIDAI Response code.
4. AUA Name
5. AUA Transaction ID (With Code)
6. Authentication Response (Success/Failure)

UIDAI offers verification facilities with a range of modes, such as demographic, biometric (fingerprint or iris), or One Time Password (OTP). Auth Modality displays the authentication mode used to execute the unique authentication transaction.
