Your fingerprint is stored on your Aadhar card, along with your name, address, and phone number. If you are concerned that your Aadhaar is being misused, you can check it yourself from the comfort of your own home.

Here’s how it works…
- Go to the Aadhar website or this link uidai.gov.in to get started.

- An OTP will be sent to the registered cellphone number linked to Aadhaar for verification; enter the OTP and click submit.
- After that, you must fill out all of the required information, including authentication type, date range, and OTP. (Please note that you can only access data from the previous six months.)
- When you click Verify OTP, a list will emerge in front of you with information on when and where Aadhaar was used in the previous six months.
