VIYONA joins select firms authorised for Aadhaar offline authentication

VIYONA has received UIDAI’s OVSE certification, enabling offline Aadhaar-based identity verification without real-time database access. The approval strengthens privacy safeguards, accelerates paperless KYC processes and enhances digital onboarding across banking, fintech and enterprise sectors in India.

Hyderabad: India-based SaaS FinTech platform VIYONA has secured Offline Verification Seeking Entity (OVSE) certification from the Unique Identification Authority of India, allowing it to provide Aadhaar-based identity authentication without real-time access to the regulator’s central database.

With this approval, VIYONA joins a limited group of entities authorised to conduct offline identity verification using Aadhaar Secure QR codes and the mAadhaar app. The solution enables enterprises, banks and NBFCs to verify customer identities through a consent-driven framework while reducing data exposure and improving operational efficiency.

Offline Aadhaar verification facilitates instant, paperless Know Your Customer processes across financial services, payments, lending, hospitality, logistics and education. By eliminating dependence on continuous internet connectivity and live API calls to UIDAI systems, the model strengthens privacy safeguards, lowers infrastructure costs and speeds up customer onboarding.

“Securing the OVSE certification from UIDAI is a strategic milestone as we expand our trusted digital infrastructure across India,” said Ravindranath Yarlagadda of VIYONA. “Offline verification enables instant, paperless KYC with enhanced privacy, compliance and data security standards.”

According to the company, its Aadhaar Offline Verification stack is built on a privacy-first architecture that includes consent-based identity validation, encrypted QR code authentication, zero storage of Aadhaar numbers, minimal data footprint and faster onboarding completion rates.

VIYONA’s modular, API-driven infrastructure integrates with banking systems, NBFC platforms, payment gateways and merchant onboarding workflows, making it suitable for high-volume digital onboarding environments.
