All newly issued Aadhaar cards come with a QR code, and UIDAI has developed a scanner app to verify them, said UIDAI CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar. The app allows users to match the card’s details with the information in the QR code, helping detect and stop fake Aadhaar cards. He noted that some people may create Aadhaar-like cards using Photoshop or templates, but clarified that these are not genuine cards.
