The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said the verification of Aadhaar number, following the consent of the Aadhaar holder, is the right step to establish the genuineness of any form of Aadhaar (Aadhaar letter, e-Aadhaar, Aadhaar PVC card, and m-Aadhaar) presented by the individual concerned. UIDAI Asks State Governments to Verify Aadhaar Before Accepting It As Proof of Identity.
The government has amended Aadhaar regulations, specifying that supporting documents need to be updated "at least once" by Aadhaar holders on completion of 10 years from enrolment date.
