It will not be easy to update the date of birth in Aadhaar again and again. UIDAI is going to make many changes to prevent the misuse of Aadhaar card. The process of online application will also become completely online. There will be many more big changes related to Aadhaar card. 

 

Many changes are happening related to Aadhaar Card. Recently, the government has introduced a new app for Aadhaar Card. At present, the app has early access, but it can be used by downloading it in the phone. People make many changes in Aadhaar card. From name to address, many changes can be made. Not only this, you can also change your date of birth. However, now it will not be easy to do this. The government has implemented a new rule to prevent frequent changes in date of birth. UIDAI, the organization that issues Aadhaar card, is now going to take strict steps to prevent frauds caused by Aadhaar and fake UID numbers. According to ET report, UIDAI CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar said that frequent changes in date of birth and biometrics will be stopped. Read below for full news.

 

 

 

This certificate will have to be given to change the date of birth

Bhuvnesh Kumar has told that several measures will be taken by UIDIA to prevent the use of wrong photos and biometrics. UIDAI will verify the information from other government databases. Also, new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will be used. Aadhaar application form will be made completely online. Also, people will have to use such documents, which can be verified online from the states.

 

These steps are being taken to maintain the security of Aadhaar. He said that people are using Aadhaar in the wrong way, so it is necessary to stop it. UIDAI will now be strict on changing the date of birth. If someone wants to change the date of birth, then he will first have to change the date of birth in the original birth certificate. The second birth certificate will not be recognized by UIDAI.

This is how people misuse it.

UIDAI is directly contacting the original database of 35 states. Documents like PAN card, CBSE marksheet, and MGNREGA records are also being integrated. Kumar says that if people want to play in the cricket team, they try to reduce their age by two years. If they want to get a job, they try to increase their age by two years. This is a big fraud. This means that people try to change their age for different benefits. He further told that people try to do this with multiple birth certificates. UIDAI is now taking strict steps to prevent such fraud.

 

UIDAI will ensure whether the documents given for making or updating the Aadhaar card are correct or not. For this, UIDAI will verify the documents directly from the source. UIDAI is using technology to make the system even better. UIDAI has created an AI/ML algorithm to prevent fingerprint fraud. This algorithm will ensure that the fingerprints are genuine.

 

Age will be checked like this.

Similarly, AI based software is being used in cameras. This software will check the age. Biometrics is not required for a child's Aadhaar. AI is also being used to match a person's photo with the photo present in the Bureau of Immigration database. This will prevent fraud.

 

UIDAI is also considering limiting the number of times fingerprints are updated. Kumar said that it is okay for elderly people to update fingerprints, as their fingerprints can change. However, there is no point in updating fingerprints frequently for the youth.

You will not be able to update your fingerprint again and again

UIDAI is also considering limiting the number of fingerprint updates. Kumar said that it is okay for elderly people to update their fingerprints, as their fingerprints can change. However, there is no point in updating fingerprints repeatedly for the youth.

 

These steps of UIDAI will benefit the common people a lot. UIDAI has also said that it will soon take some more new steps to make Aadhaar card even more secure.
