Aadhaar Verification via OTP

Aadhaar verification serves as identity and address verification. Apart from confirming that an applicant is an Indian citizen, Aadhaar allows you to verify details such as the applicant's name, gender, date of birth, father's name, and permanent address.

Typically Aadhaar verification is done while onboarding a customer as part of the know your customer (KYC) process. Integrating with ZWITCH APIs allows you to automate the KYC process, reducing the chances of human error.

Our Aadhaar Verification via OTP flow allows you to verify an individual's Aadhaar details by sending an OTP to the individual's mobile number. The individual can enter the OTP they receive on your system. In this flow, the individual is not redirected to any 3rd party service or hosted page. The individual interacts with your system, allowing you to customize the user experience per your design philosophy.

Workflow

With ZWITCH, you can verify an individual’s Aadhaar in 2 steps.

Follow the below steps to verify your customer's Aadhaar details.

Send OTP: An individual's consent is required to download their details from the Aadhaar database. You can initiate the process to obtain consent by sending an OTP to the individual's mobile number.
