UIDAI has introduced a new feature that enables residents to verify the validity of any Aadhaar number through the UIDAI Online Portal. This feature empowers individuals to conveniently track the validity status of Aadhaar numbers and determine if they are still active and valid, ensuring that the issued Aadhaar number remains in effect and has not been deactivated.
While the Aadhaar Number itself does not have an expiration date or a predefined validity period, it is important to note that the Aadhaar number may be deactivated if the required documents are not submitted when requested or if necessary updates are not carried out.
