Amazon only requires id when you order from Amazon Global, and that's because customs requires Indians to provide identity and address proof when you're importing something. If you don't want to provide it to Amazon, you have the option of providing it to the courier service (FedEx/Aramex/whatever). Also, you can provide any other address proof like driving license, electricity bill, voter id etc. Aadhaar is convenient because it is one of the few documents that are accepted as proof of both identity and address (passport, driving license, voter id and ration card are the others).
So, yes, clickbait article.
- zeusk 9y agoThis particular case is for investigation into a reportedly missing package of a mobile phone; but yes, clickbait.
- lightmaker 9y agoDid you actually read the article? This is more than for just global shopping.
- nileshtrivedi 9y agoAadhaar is NOT a proof of address. Or Age. UIDAI has clarified it.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 9y agoThe Aadhaar card has your birth year on it. How is it not a proof of age within a maximum error of one year?
- pritambaral 9y agoIn quite many cases, a margin of error of one year is too large for age verification.
- nileshtrivedi 9y agoThey don't VERIFY the birth year. It is only as good as the other ID docs submitted to them. In their own words: https://twitter.com/UIDAI/status/934731727808774144 https://twitter.com/UIDAI/status/934731727808774144
