Aadhaar face authentication gets easier: UIDAI launches new SDK and Sandbox—what users should know | Mint
UIDAI has launched an Aadhaar Face Authentication SDK. This software package lets banks, insurers, brokers and fintechs build face verification straight into their own apps, so you may no longer need the separate FaceRD app running in the background. Opening an account becomes shorter, and it supports RBI-mandated multi-factor authentication. Check whether your bank or broker has added it yet.
Key Statutory Highlights
- UIDAI launched the Aadhaar Face Authentication SDK and an Aadhaar Face Authentication Sandbox at the Global Fintech Fest 2026.
- The SDK brings face authentication directly into native Android and iOS apps of banks, insurers, brokers and fintechs, so users do not switch between applications.
- The ready-to-use SDK includes AI/ML-based liveness and anti-spoofing features and supports secure handling and encryption of authentication data.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:When you next open an account or finish KYC, look for an in-app Aadhaar face verification option in your bank, insurer or broker app. If it is not there yet, simply continue with the existing FaceRD method you use today.
