The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made a major and important change in the rules related to Aadhaar card. Now Aadhaar Verifiable Credential (AVC) A new digital ID option named NAM has been launched, the purpose of which is to make your identity more secure than ever and prevent your personal information from being shared unnecessarily.

What is this new AVC and how can you benefit from it?

AVC is a type of digitally signed document. You will be able to make this from your new Aadhaar app. Its most important thing is that it does not contain your complete information, but only that much information which is necessary for verification. As:

• Only last 4 digits of Aadhaar number
• Your name, address and date of birth
• penis and photo
