Do you know you can find out when and where your Aadhaar card was used for authentication? The website of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the body that manages Aadhaar, has the provision of checking where and when your Aadhaar was used.
Follow these steps to know when and where your Aadhaar was used:
1. Go to Aadhaar authentication history page: https://resident.uidai.gov.in/notification-aadhaar
2. Enter your "Aadhaar number (12 Digit UID)" and the "Security Code" given.
3. Click on "Generate OTP".
4. You will receive an OTP on your mobile phone. Make sure you had verified your number with the UIDAI website. [On the new page that appears, select the type of authentication you want to check for. The UIDAI offers Biometrics, Demographics, OTP, Demographic & Biometric, Biometric & OTP and Demographic & OTP options. Users can also select the All option to inquire every entry made through Aadhaar.]
5. You will see options to choose the period of information and the number of transactions. Write your OTP and click on 'Submit'.
6. You will see date, time and type of all Aadhaar authentication requests made in the period you had chosen. However, the page won't show who made the requests.
If you find something suspicious, you can even lock your Aadhaar information online and unlock it whenever you want to use it. And while you are figuring that out, don't forget the linking deadlines are fast approaching.
