Nagaland Accepts Aadhaar App Credentials as ID
Nagaland has ordered government agencies to accept credentials shared through the Aadhaar App as valid proof of identity. The directive covers digital verification and sharing personal details. It also compares app-based credentials with existing Aadhaar formats. For residents, this shows how digital Aadhaar credentials are being treated in government work.
Context
Aadhaar is India's 12-digit identity number, issued by UIDAI, and the Aadhaar App lets people keep a digital copy on their phone. Nagaland is a northeastern state, so this is one state's step within a wider push for digital ID.
