Someone Using Your Aadhaar Without You Knowing? Check Now!

Your Aadhaar is now the master key to banking, SIM cards, subsidies, and dozens of daily services — making it a prime target for fraudsters. Thankfully, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) gives every citizen the power to see exactly who used their Aadhaar and when, for the last six months, absolutely free.

This hidden “Aadhaar Authentication History” feature is a game-changer: it shows every single verification attempt — OTP, fingerprint, iris, or demographic — with full details so you can instantly spot misuse before it turns into major trouble.

What you’ll see in the report:

• Exact date and time of authentication
• Type of verification (OTP / Biometric / Demographic)
• Name of the organisation that used your Aadhaar
• Whether the attempt succeeded or failed
• Repeated failed attempts (big red flag!)

Step-by-step: How to check in under 2 minutes

1. Go to official site: https://uidai.gov.in
2. Click “My Aadhaar” → “Aadhaar Services” → “Aadhaar Authentication History”
3. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar or 16-digit Virtual ID + captcha
4. OTP will be sent only to your registered mobile
5. Choose date range (up to last 6 months) and authentication type (select “All”)
6. Click Submit → full log appears instantly
7. Download PDF or screenshot for records

See anything suspicious? Act fast:

• Contact the organisation that made the unknown request
• Immediately lock your Aadhaar biometrics (one-click option on the same portal or mAadhaar app)
• File a complaint on UIDAI website or call 1947

If you spot any entry you don’t recognise, immediately contact the organisation listed and consider locking your Aadhaar biometrics from the same portal. Make it a habit to check once a month, because 60 seconds of precaution can save you from years of identity theft headache.
