## 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

1.  Onboarding customers who upload an e-Aadhaar PDF
    
2.  Combining extraction and verification in one call
    
3.  Avoiding the quality problems of card photographs
    
4.  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.
