Aadhaar authentication history (where your Aadhaar was used)
See free in the official Aadhaar app or on myAadhaar when and where your own Aadhaar was used. You need your Aadhaar number and the phone linked to it.
Free on the official page. Your own numbers only. We have no automated link to any government portal, use no private data services, and never store the result.
What you need
- Your own Aadhaar number (12 digits) or your VID (Virtual ID, a 16-digit number that stands in for Aadhaar).
- The mobile phone linked to your Aadhaar, with you. An OTP (one-time password, a code sent by SMS) comes to it.
- A phone with the official Aadhaar app, or a phone or computer with internet. UIDAI (the Aadhaar office) gives this check free.
What to do on the official page
- Open the official Aadhaar app, or the official myAadhaar website (the button on this page). Its address ends in uidai.gov.in. Do not use other sites that ask for your Aadhaar number.
- Type your Aadhaar number and the picture code (captcha) yourself. Ask for the OTP.
- Type the OTP from your SMS yourself. Never tell the OTP to anyone, not even FormSathi.
- Open 'Authentication History'.
- Choose the type (all, or one kind such as OTP or fingerprint) and the dates: from, to. Ask to see the records.
- Read each line: date and time, type, the agency that asked (for example a bank or ration shop), and success or failure. Find what you see in the list below.
What the result means
The portal shows: Every line is a use you remember: your bank, SIM shop, ration shop or a form you filled. Success.
It means: Your Aadhaar was used only where you used it. Nothing is wrong.
What to do next: Nothing to do. You can check again every few months.
The portal shows: A line you do not recognise: an agency or a date when you did not use your Aadhaar.
It means: Someone may have used your Aadhaar without you, or a family member used it for you. The agency name in the line tells you who asked.
What to do next: First ask your family. If no one knows, lock your biometrics (fingerprint and eye scan) in the Aadhaar app or on myAadhaar, call UIDAI on 1947 (free) or write to help@uidai.gov.in, and ask that agency what it was for. Complaints are free.
The portal shows: Lines that say failure, with an error code (a short number).
It means: The check did not pass that time. Often a fingerprint did not match, a detail was typed wrong, or your biometrics were locked. If it was you, it is usually harmless.
What to do next: If you did not try then, treat it like a line you do not recognise (above). If your fingerprints often fail, update them at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra (Aadhaar centre).
The portal shows: No records, or the OTP does not come.
It means: No records means your Aadhaar was not used in the dates you chose. No OTP usually means your mobile is not linked to Aadhaar.
What to do next: Try a wider date range. If no OTP comes, see the FormSathi page on checking your Aadhaar mobile link.
Frequently asked questions
Is this check free?
Yes. UIDAI shows your history free in the Aadhaar app and on myAadhaar. FormSathi does not charge for this page.
How far back can I see?
UIDAI says you can see the last 6 months. You see up to 50 lines at a time.
What does locking my biometrics do?
No one can use your fingerprint or eye scan for Aadhaar checks until you unlock it. You need your registered mobile to lock it. You can unlock it for a short time in the Aadhaar app, on the UIDAI website or at an Aadhaar centre.
Someone asked me for my Aadhaar OTP on the phone. What should I do?
Do not give it. UIDAI, banks and FormSathi never ask for an OTP on a call. Hang up, check your history here and call 1947 (free) if you see a line you do not know.
Can I see someone else's authentication history?
Check only your own. The OTP goes to that person's own phone, and only they should type it. FormSathi never looks up another person's Aadhaar.
