Your Aadhaar Card is a unique 12 digit number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and that too free of cost. The number is required to be provided for every official work, hence making it very important. In case you have a fake Aadhaar number, then you are in trouble. So, in case you are wondering how to check if your Aadhaar number is genuine or not, just keep reading. Thereafter, all you need to do is visit the official UIDAI website at uidai.gov.in, using the web browser of your choice.

Informing about the same, UIDAI tweeted, "All 12-digit numbers are not #Aadhaar. It is recommended that the Aadhaar should be verified before accepting it as identity proof. Click here to verify: https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/verifyAadhaar." It must be noted that it is important to verify an Aadhaar number in order to know if it is valid and is not deactivated. Also, an Aadhaar number that has been issued to an individual cannot be reassigned to any other person.
