E-Aadhaar Verify API
Extract and verify Aadhaar details from an uploaded e-Aadhaar document, combining extraction with validation in one step.
What the E-Aadhaar Verify API does
E-Aadhaar Verify accepts an uploaded e-Aadhaar document, extracts the identity details from it and verifies them.
It suits flows where customers download their e-Aadhaar PDF rather than photographing a physical card, which is increasingly the norm and produces a much cleaner input than a phone camera.
Where teams use the E-Aadhaar Verify API
Onboarding customers who upload an e-Aadhaar PDF
Combining extraction and verification in one call
Avoiding the quality problems of card photographs
Processing e-Aadhaar documents already on file
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does this differ from OCR Aadhaar?
OCR reads a card image and stops there. This handles the e-Aadhaar document and verifies the details as well as extracting them.
Is the e-Aadhaar password protected?
Typically yes, using a scheme based on name and year of birth. Handle that before or during upload.
Which is strongest?
Aadhaar XML Verification, because it validates a cryptographic signature rather than reading a rendered document.
