This API is commonly referred to as

Aadhaar Masking APIAadhaar Number Masking APIAadhaar Card Masking APIAadhaar Redaction APIAadhaar QR Code Masking API

Organizations use this API to

mask Aadhaar numbers before storage

redact visible QR codes from Aadhaar documents

reduce exposure of Aadhaar identifiers

automate document handling workflows

support compliance and privacy processes

The Deepvue Aadhaar Masking API helps teams process Aadhaar documents safely while preserving the rest of the document layout for operational use.

Why Aadhaar masking matters

Aadhaar documents contain sensitive identifiers: Aadhaar number, VID, QR codes, demographic details. Businesses need to reduce exposure across uploads, archives, and review workflows.

Unmasked Aadhaar handling is

a sensitive-data exposure risk

manually slow to redact at scale

hard to apply consistently across teams

Automated masking enables

data minimization & storage hygiene

consistent Aadhaar redaction

lower manual redaction effort

What this API enables

The Deepvue Aadhaar Masking API enables organizations to:

Cover the number before it lands in storage

Redact the 12 digits on intake, so your repository holds a masked card from the first upload.

Kill the data hidden in the QR

The visible QR encodes the same identity details, so masking it shuts a second leak most redaction tools miss.

Keep the raw card out of your pipeline

Pass the redacted copy straight to review and archival, so the original never has to be retained.

Fetch documents from the source instead

Clear document backlogs

Send Aadhaar uploads in volume instead of redacting each card by hand.

Keep the rest of the page

Only the Aadhaar number and QR are masked; name, address, and layout stay readable for review.

Hold a DPDP audit trail

Every masking request is logged, so DPDP-aligned reviews have the evidence they ask for.

How the API works

From document upload to masked output in four steps.

Upload document

Submit a user-provided Aadhaar image or PDF document through a secure API request.

Detect identifiers

The API detects Aadhaar number patterns and visible QR code regions across the document.

Apply masking

Sensitive Aadhaar identifiers are masked while the rest of the document layout is preserved.

Return masked output

A masked output document is returned for downstream storage, review, or processing.

Deepvue provides masking infrastructure and does not independently source, verify, or retrieve Aadhaar data from UIDAI through this workflow.

Document in. Masked output back.

Aadhaar redaction designed for KYC, onboarding, and storage pipelines.
