Checking your Aadhaar Authentication History is very simple. Log into your ‘My Aadhaar’ Account online or on a Mobile App. Using the Aadhaar Authentication History facility, everyone can check six months of history for OTP, Demographic, biometric data, and other information on their Aadhaar Card.
The Aadhaar Card is an essential document for Indians. It is needed to avail of various social and welfare schemes provided by the central and state governments, and it also serves as an identity card. However, we often use an Aadhaar card as proof of identity in many places, and it is crucial to know where it has been used.
Introduced by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) in 2010, the Aadhaar card is a unique identity card for all Indian citizens. It can be used for various purposes, such as opening a bank account, applying for a PAN card, or getting a new SIM card. Submitting an Aadhaar card as proof in examination centres and while availing of government schemes is also mandatory.
However, many people are unaware of where they have used their Aadhaar card, which increases the risk of misuse. There is also a risk of someone using our Aadhaar card, which can lead to fraudulent activities. Therefore, knowing your Aadhaar card history is essential to detect any fraudulent activity. You can easily trace your Aadhaar card if someone else uses it without your permission.
