Google enables Indians to save Aadhaar verifiable credentials in Google Wallet

Google has introduced a new feature allowing Indian users to save their Aadhaar Verifiable Credentials directly in Google Wallet. This enables users to verify their identity for various everyday uses in a secure and digital manner. The feature is built on Google's partnership with UIDAI and incorporates global standards such as selective disclosure, ensuring that only necessary information is shared when required. Initial partners include PVR INOX, BharatMatrimony, and Atlys, with Mygate and Snabbit set to partner in the near future. Google is also expanding digital ID features globally, enabling users in Singapore, Taiwan, and Brazil to create ID passes based on passport information and save them in Google Wallet. The company emphasizes that security, privacy, and interoperability are at the foundation of its approach to digital identity.
