UIDAI Partners with Starlink to Enable Aadhaar-Based e-KYC for Satellite Internet Users

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has entered into a landmark partnership with Starlink Satellite Communications Pvt Ltd to enable Aadhaar-based customer verification for its users in India. The agreement will allow Starlink to conduct secure, paperless e-KYC authentication using Aadhaar, making the onboarding process both compliant and seamless.

Starlink has now been formally recognised as a Sub-Authentication User Agency (Sub-AUA) and Sub-eKYC User Agency (Sub-eKUA), which grants the company access to Aadhaar e-KYC services for voluntary customer verification.

UIDAI–Starlink Partnership Enables Aadhaar-Based e-KYC on Satellite Services

Under the partnership, Starlink will be able to leverage UIDAI’s Aadhaar authentication and e-KYC capabilities to verify customer identity digitally. According to UIDAI officials, the move is a significant step in promoting secure and user-friendly onboarding processes for emerging technology providers in India.

Aadhaar Becomes Key Component of India’s Digital Infrastructure

A UIDAI spokesperson noted that Aadhaar has evolved into the foundational layer of the nation’s digital public infrastructure, helping both citizens and businesses access services with ease. UIDAI’s face authentication and e-KYC services are increasingly being adopted by public and private entities for their efficiency and reliability.

A Big Boost for Digital India and Satellite Connectivity
