The mAadhar application is developed by the Unique Identification Authority Of India(UIDAI) to help people carry Aadhaar in their wallet anywhere across the country. It is also mandatory proof at airports and railway stations. This app helps an Aadhaar cardholder to have access at any time. It is available on both android and IOS phones.
As per UIDAI, this can be done only by individuals who have linked their Aadhaar to a registered mobile number. While a profile can be registered on an mAadhaar app installed on any smartphone, the OTP (one time password) for this will be sent only on the registered phone number.
