Central Government Checked 2026-10-30 UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India)

Steps

  1. Open myAadhaar
    Follow the myAadhaar link to view your Authentication History. It’s a UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) website.
    Open this page
  2. Enter your Aadhaar number/VID
    Enter your Aadhaar number/VID. A VID (Virtual ID) is a temporary 16-digit number linked to your Aadhaar.
    Open this page
  3. Enter the security code
    Enter the security code along with your Aadhaar number/VID.
  4. Finish signing in after the security code
    After entering the security code, follow the portal’s instructions to finish signing in. You can then see your checks.
  5. Choose dates in the calendar
    You can view checks from the last 6 months, up to 50 records at a time. For March checks, choose only March in the calendar.
  6. Read AUA Name
    Each record shows Date & Time of Authentication and AUA Name. AUA Name means the service that asked for the check.
  7. Call the UIDAI helpline
    If you see a check you don’t recognise, call the UIDAI helpline on 1947.
    Open this page
  8. Use the Biometric Locking/Unlocking service
    If a check looks wrong, lock your biometrics using the Biometric Locking/Unlocking service. You’ll find it on the UIDAI website and in the Aadhaar app.
    Open this page
  9. Contact the service under AUA Name
    Ask the service shown under AUA Name for more details about the check.
  10. After the last step
    Keep AUA Transaction ID (With Code) and UIDAI Response code ready.
    The first is each check’s unique number from the service that asked for the check.
    If something goes wrong, see UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) official website: uidai.gov.in.

  3. Report the concern He calls UIDAI on 1947 about the check he does not recognise…
  4. Lock biometrics If the check looks wrong, he uses the Biometric Locking/Unlo…

Raju knows which service to ask about the check and how to report his concern to UIDAI.

The official rule: Aadhaar holders with a registered mobile number can view their own authentication records for the last 6 months, up to 50 records at a time. AUA Name identifies the service that requested the check. Unrecognised checks can be reported to UIDAI on 1947.

Raju and his figures are an example; the rule is the official one.

Other way: use the Aadhaar app
Install the Aadhaar app, then register with your Aadhaar number and face authentication. Set a 6-digit PIN. Then view your Authentication History.
You have no Registered mobile number

A record shows Failure with a UIDAI Error code
Look up the UIDAI Error code in the Aadhaar Authentication (identity check) API document. This is a technical guide on the UIDAI website. For example, error 330 means your biometrics are locked.
Someone asks for your OTP or password
Never share your OTP (one-time password) or password with anyone who calls or messages you. If you’re unsure, call the UIDAI helpline on 1947.
