The Unique Identification Authority of India

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has been created, with the mandate of providing a unique identity to all Indian residents. The UIDAI proposes to use biometrics to eliminate duplicates and ensure uniqueness during the enrolment process. Quality of collected biometric data is critical for the accuracy of de-duplication and a key component for the success of the program. While the program will be using the biometric capture devices from different vendors, it is critical to maintain consistent data collection process. This will be achieved by standardizing the biometric capture process flow around the UID Enrolment Software.
