🔒 Important Privacy & Security Notice

This tool performs FORMAT VALIDATION ONLY and does not authenticate or verify Aadhar cards with UIDAI databases. Your Aadhar number is processed entirely on your device and never transmitted to any server. However, exercise extreme caution when entering real Aadhar numbers online. For official verification, use only UIDAI's official portal at uidai.gov.in. This validator is for educational and preliminary format checking purposes only.

Professional Aadhar Card Format Validation Tool

The Aadhar card is a unique 12-digit identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to Indian residents. As the world's largest biometric identification system, Aadhar serves as a crucial document for accessing government services, financial transactions, and identity verification across various sectors. Our professional Aadhar card validator ensures that your Aadhar number follows the correct format structure as mandated by UIDAI, helping identify potential errors before submission to official authorities.

Aadhar numbers follow a specific 12-digit numeric structure with an embedded checksum algorithm based on the Verhoeff algorithm, which helps detect common transcription errors including single-digit errors and adjacent digit transpositions. This mathematical validation ensures data integrity and helps prevent fraudulent or incorrectly formatted numbers from entering official systems. Understanding this structure is essential for businesses, service providers, and individuals who need to verify Aadhar authenticity for compliance purposes.

Our validator performs comprehensive format checking using official UIDAI structure rules, including checksum verification, providing instant feedback on validity, detailed breakdown of validation steps, and specific guidance for corrections when errors are detected. The tool operates entirely client-side using advanced JavaScript algorithms, ensuring complete privacy and security of your sensitive identification information. No Aadhar data is transmitted to external servers, making it safe for preliminary verification processes.

This validation tool is particularly valuable for HR departments processing employee documentation, financial institutions verifying customer information, government agencies managing citizen records, and individuals double-checking their Aadhar details before official submissions. The validator also explains common Aadhar format errors and provides actionable steps for obtaining corrections through proper UIDAI channels.

Privacy and Security Commitment: We prioritize your privacy and data security. This validator processes all information locally on your device without any server communication. However, we strongly recommend using test numbers or dummy data when possible, and never sharing your actual Aadhar number with unauthorized websites or services. Always verify the authenticity of any online tool before entering sensitive personal information.

Legal Disclaimer: This tool validates Aadhar format structure and checksum only and does not verify the authenticity, active status, or demographic details of Aadhar cards with UIDAI databases. For official Aadhar verification, authentication, demographic updates, or application processes, please use UIDAI's official portal at uidai.gov.in. This validator is provided for educational and preliminary checking purposes only and should not be considered as official government validation or authentication.

Format Structure

Total Length: 12 digits
Format: All numeric
Digits 1-11: Unique ID
Digit 12: Checksum

Common Errors

  • Incorrect length (not exactly 12 digits)
  • Non-numeric characters or letters
  • Invalid checksum digit
  • Special characters or spaces
  • Starting with 0 or 1 (invalid patterns)
  • Transposed or swapped digits

Verhoeff Checksum Algorithm

How It Works

  • Uses dihedral group D5 mathematics
  • Detects all single-digit errors
  • Catches adjacent digit transpositions
  • More robust than simple modulo checks

Error Detection

  • 100% single digit error detection
  • 100% adjacent transposition detection
  • 95.5% other error pattern detection
  • Phonetic error detection capability

Critical Security & Privacy Guidelines

⚠️ Format Validation Only: This tool only validates Aadhar number format and checksum. It does not verify authenticity with UIDAI databases or confirm that the number belongs to a real person.

🔒 Privacy Protection: All validation is performed locally on your device. No data is sent to external servers. However, exercise extreme caution when entering real Aadhar numbers online.

🏛️ Official Verification: For authentic Aadhar verification, demographic updates, or official services, always use UIDAI's official portal at uidai.gov.in or authorized service centers.

⚖️ Legal Compliance: Ensure compliance with Aadhar Act 2016 and related regulations when handling Aadhar data. Unauthorized collection or storage of Aadhar numbers may violate privacy laws.
