The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is all set to completely redesign the Aadhaar card. The new Aadhaar card will be released across the country from December.

This new Aadhaar card is being designed with privacy & security as its main objective.

🔴 🔻 Old Aadhaar vs New Aadhaar — Key Differences

🆕 What will the new Aadhaar card look like?

Only:

✔️ Photo

✔️ QR Code

will be visible on the card.

These details that were present in the old Aadhaar will no longer be visible:

❌ Name

❌ Aadhaar Number

❌ Address

❌ Date of Birth

❌ Gender

That is, no personal information will be printed on the card.

🔐 🔻 What is in the QR code?

 The QR code in the new Aadhaar will contain:

➡️ Name

➡️ Aadhaar Number

➡️ DOB

➡️ Address

➡️ Gender

➡️ Biometric verification data (in encrypted form)

All will be encrypted.

This QR code can be decoded by:

✔️ Government authorized scanners

✔️ UIDAI official apps

✔️ Verification devices

Only.

Hotels, event managers, offices, anyone cannot view the data by taking a photocopy.

🛡️ 🔻 Why such a big change?

According to UIDAI, the purpose of the new Aadhaar redesign is:

🔸 1. Privacy Protection: Currently, hotels, event organizers, private offices— take photocopies of Aadhaar and store names, addresses, DOB, Aadhaar numbers. This is a big risk of data leakage. This is impossible in the new Aadhaar. 

🔸 2. Stopping Aadhaar data misuse

Thousands of frauds are being committed through Aadhaar photocopies.

Since the new card does not have printed information:

➡️ Data misuse

➡️ Cloning

➡️ Fraud activities

The problems will be reduced significantly.

🔸 3. Upgrade to meet Digital India standards

UIDAI aims to:

Make the entire identity system secure, clean and tamper-proof.

The new QR code-based system is designed to meet world-class security standards.

🕵️‍♂️ 🔻 What will change in the future?

✔️ It is safe to give your Aadhaar card to anyone

Because there are no printed details.

✔️ Even if hotels / gated communities / event entries / banks

They take a photocopy of your card —

👉 None of your personal data will be visible.

 ✔️ Digital Verification Only

Data is confirmed through a single QR code scan.

📅 When will the new Aadhaar be available?

➡️ Release from December

➡️ Distribution across the country in a phased manner

➡️ Old Aadhaar will remain valid, but it is possible to recommend switching to the new Aadhaar.

🔥 This is the biggest privacy reform in India's digital identity system!

With this decision, UIDAI is entering a new phase in the data security of Indian citizens.
