What the Aadhaar Verification API does

The Aadhaar Verification API is a demographic validation check. You send the Aadhaar number, we confirm it exists and is active, and you receive the profile attributes the authority links to it. The full number is never echoed back; only a masked version is returned so your systems never hold the complete identifier.

It is the fastest way to catch a fake, mistyped or inactive Aadhaar at the very start of onboarding, before you spend money on deeper checks or let a case move forward on bad identity data.

Consent is part of the contract

The individual must consent to Aadhaar-based verification before you call this API. Profiden records the consent text with every request so your audit trail is complete.

Where it is used

Banks & NBFCs Fintech Staffing & Gig E-commerce

Good to know

Same key and response envelope as every other Profiden API.
Synchronous call: the result comes back in the same request.
Also available as a check inside Profiden cases, with a PDF report.
Sandbox demo hits let you integrate before production billing.

Benefits of the Aadhaar Verification API

Confirm an Aadhaar number is genuine and active, without OTP friction.

Instant answer

Real-time response, so onboarding forms can validate identity while the person is still on the screen.

Privacy by default

Only a masked Aadhaar and demographic attributes come back. Your database never stores the full number.

Cheaper downstream

Reject invalid or inactive numbers up front and stop paying for follow-on checks on bad identities.

Consent captured

Consent language is attached to every call and preserved in the audit log for DPDP and UIDAI compliance.

Use cases

Aadhaar Verification API use cases

Where the Aadhaar Verification API is typically called, and what it settles there.

Employee onboarding

Validate the Aadhaar a candidate declares before the background check package starts.

Customer and merchant KYC

First-pass identity check for wallets, lending journeys and marketplace sellers.

Gig partner sign-up

High-volume, low-cost identity gate for delivery and field partners.

Fraud screening

Flag applications that reuse an Aadhaar number or present one that does not exist.

How the Aadhaar Verification API works

Request and response details, environments and a ready-to-import collection are in the developer console at console.profiden.com.

Authenticate

Call with your organisation API key. Sandbox and production use the same contract.

Send the inputs

Aadhaar number as a JSON body. Optional fields sharpen the match.

We verify at source

Profiden queries the authoritative record, normalises the answer and logs the request.

Act on the result

A verification status plus the fields listed above, in the same response envelope as every other API.

Aadhaar Verification API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the Aadhaar Verification API to their integration.

No. It is a demographic validation that confirms the number is genuine and active and returns the linked attributes. If you need consent-driven document pull with the person's participation, use the DigiLocker API alongside it.

Never. Responses carry a masked form only, which keeps your systems out of scope for storing the complete identifier.

Explicit consent from the individual for Aadhaar-based verification. Profiden stores the consent statement with each request so it is available in the case audit trail and in your API logs.

Yes. Every organisation gets sandbox keys and demo hits in the developer console, so you can wire the integration end to end before production billing starts.
