UIDAI Privacy Circular & Section 29 Aadhaar Act Compliance

Aadhaar Card Masking Tool Online (Free & UIDAI Compliant)

Under Section 29 of the Aadhaar Act 2016 and UIDAI circulars, citizens and digital center operators are strongly advised to mask the first 8 digits of the 12-digit Aadhaar number before sharing photocopies for non-statutory verification. LoomPDF Studio Pro provides an instant, in-browser privacy tool to generate compliant masked Aadhaar copies without uploading sensitive identity documents to any server.

Section 29(4) Compliance

Strictly prohibits publishing or displaying unmasked 12-digit Aadhaar numbers in public records or offline copies.

Mask First 8 Digits

Replaces digits with XXXX-XXXX, keeping only the legally valid last 4 digits visible for KYC verification.

100% Client-Side Privacy

Image processing runs strictly inside local device RAM with zero server transmission or cloud retention.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Upload Aadhaar Card: Drop your Aadhaar card image or photo scan. Use 4-corner perspective deskew if captured with a phone.
  2. Adjust Privacy Masking: Position and resize the privacy mask overlay over the first 8 digits (displaying only XXXX-XXXX-1234). The Virtual ID (VID) and QR code can also be masked.
  3. Export Masked Copy: Download the sanitized JPEG image or generate an instant A4 print sheet (up to 5 cards) for customer delivery.
