OVSE

An entity willing to became OVSE may submit the application through https://ovse.uidai.gov.in/. UIDAI may register the entity as a registered OVSE, after verification of the submitted details.

A registered OVSE can perform Aadhaar-based offline identity verification of an Aadhaar Number Holder (ANH) and avail various benefits, such as: - Instantly perform paperless identity verification - Save verification output, as permitted - Use face verification to establish proof of presence

No. Offline verification cannot be performed on behalf of another entity.

The ANH should have a smartphone (Android version 9.0 and above and iOS version 16.0 and above) with internet connectivity.

An Aadhaar Verifiable Credential is a digitally signed document issued by the  Authority to the Aadhaar Number Holder. It may contain the last 4 digits of the Aadhaar number, demographic data such as name, address, gender, date of birth, and photograph of the Aadhaar Number Holder, and such other information as may be specified by the Authority. These credentials may be shared by the Aadhaar Number Holder, in full or in part, with an OVSE in the manner specified by the Authority, for verifying the demographic information or the photograph of the Aadhaar Number Holder.

No SDK is required. The OVSE must follow the QR generation guidelines issued by UIDAI. A registered OVSE may contact UIDAI for any technical support related to QR generation.
