How to download aadhar card

As of last update in September 2021, you cannot directly download your Aadhaar card from the internet like you would with other documents. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) provides Aadhaar cards, and there are certain official ways to obtain a copy of your Aadhaar card. Here's what you can do:

Download e-Aadhaar Online:Visit the official UIDAI website: https://uidai.gov.in/
Click on the "Download Aadhaar" option.
Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number or Enrollment ID, along with the security code.
Click on "Send OTP" if you have an Aadhaar-linked mobile number, or "TOTP" if you use the Time-based One-Time Password.
Enter the OTP or TOTP received on your registered mobile number.
After verification, you can download your e-Aadhaar PDF. It is password-protected; the password is the first four letters of your name in CAPITALS followed by your birth year (YYYY).


Order Aadhaar Reprint:If you do not have access to your registered mobile number or face any other issue, you can also order an Aadhaar Reprint.
Visit the official UIDAI website.
Click on "Order Aadhaar Reprint" under the "My Aadhaar" section.
Enter your Aadhaar number or Virtual ID and security code.
You will receive an OTP or TOTP on your registered mobile number.
Enter the OTP or TOTP to verify your identity.
After verification, you can pay a nominal fee and your Aadhaar will be sent to your registered address.


Visit an Aadhaar Enrollment Center:If you are unable to download your Aadhaar online or order a reprint, you can visit the nearest Aadhaar Enrollment Center.
At the center, you can provide your Aadhaar number or Enrollment ID and other necessary details to obtain a physical copy of your Aadhaar.
