The UIDAI engages with social media users from time to time to spread awareness about Aadhaar-related services.
The UIDAI or Unique Identification Authority of India, the issuer of the 12-digit personal identification number under the Aadhaar biometric ID programme, enables users to verify the registered mobile number of an Aadhaar holder online. “There are many scenarios where you should check and verify the identity of visitors to ensure that you are not letting suspicious people in your personal, private space,” the UIDAI said on Twitter. The UIDAI manages the Aadhaar card programme.

Visit the UIDAI website and select the “verify an Aadhaar number” option under the services section. Here is the direct link for the UIDAI service.
Enter the Aadhaar number which needs to be verified.
Entering an authentic Aadhaar number leads to information such as the age bracket, gender, state and the last three-four digits of the registered mobile number of the associated profile.
Matching these details with those provided by the Aadhaar holder verifies the identity of the person.
mAadhaar
Demographic details of the Aadhaar holder along with a photograph are displayed on the screen. Open the “QR code scanner” option in mobile app mAadhaar and scan the QR code on the given Aadhaar.
Matching these details with those provided by the Aadhaar holder verifies the identity.
