Sub: Discontinuation of the provision of partial match in Demographic
authentication
UIDAT at present provides the facility of both exact match and partial
match in demographic authentication to Authentication User Agencies (AUAS).
The AUAs generally configure the option of exact or partial match of name
and/or address and/or other demographic parameters in their respective client
applications. However, it is observed that some entities are using partial
matching whereby part of the name or partial address etc. is sent to UIDAI for
the purpose of authentication. Such practice while may improve the
authentication success rate of matching their domain database with Aadhaar
database, there is always a scope for wrongful identity verification. UIDAI has
also advised from time to time that the demographic information as per Aadhaar
should be captured and used for performing demographic authentication.
2. In order to remove any chances of wrongful identity verification using
demographic authentication, it is hereby decided to discontinue the provision of
partial matching in demographic authentication w.e.f 1.12.2017 after which the
demographic authentication shall be allowed only for exact match of name,
address and other parameters as in Aadhaar.
3. It is reiterated that to achieve the best and accurate results in
demographic data verification, AUAs should capture name, address and other
demographic details as per Aadhaar to perform demographic authentication.
The information as per Aadhaar may be captured directly either from Aadhaar
letter or eAadhaar or mAadhaar using QR code reader.
