Why One Need To Download Aadhaar Card

Awfully, aadhar is somewhat — “Mera Aadhaar, Meri Pehchaan”…!!!

Not only that but it is also a 12-digit unique identification number that is issued by the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) to all the citizens of India.

Fine, but what if data filed within the aadhaar card gets wrong. Don’t you think all the details will be in vain? Chances are, but details aren’t the fumes which will disappear within seconds.

Hmm… cool fact. So what’s the way to overcome this issue.

In order to rescue and refine all the details of aadhaar card, aadhaar card amendment (aadhaar card updation || aadhaar card correction) is required.

Wait-Wait-Wait, at this point, one suffers from the aadhar card download need. Have a depth view from starting…

Generally, after enrolling and receiving the aadhaar card, we get the filled details incorrect and sometimes it even happens that we lose the aadhaar card.

To this point, we look for the aadhaar card updation or so-called aadhar card amendment. Upon making the updation, we just have to wait for the new aadhaar card. And the reason beyond waiting is: new aadhar card needs to be mailed by the government of India on your postal address. Needless to mention that this on-going process usually takes a couple of weeks and sometimes a month or two to be completed.

Until what? Nothing big, just download a digital copy of your new aadhaar card online, which we call e-aadhaar from the self-service portal of the UIDAI or the Enrolment/Update Center.

Time and again, you might be glancing at e-aadhaar and often might be thinking; what is e-aadhaar? Well, it is nothing but an electronic version of your aadhaar card or just say it a copy of your aadhaar but remember electronic and not the original which come by post.

Remember: To be able to go with the process of downloading aadhar card via aadhaar number only, you must have two things:

• Aadhaar Number.
• A Mobile Number Registered With UIDAI.

However, both are equally important – as you would require both;

Aadhaar Number — In order to rectify that the aadhaar belongs to you.

On the other hand; Mobile Number Registered With UIDAI — In order to receive OPT (One Time Password) for downloading e-aadhaar card.

Finally, the steps to aadhar card download by aadhaar number only are as follows:

• Visit Official Website Of UIDAI
• From My Aadhaar, Select Download Aadhaar
• Select: Aadhaar Number & Fill 12 Digit UID
• Mark or Not “Masked Aadhaar” Option But Enter The Captcha

Now, let’s discuss these points along with the infographics and GIF representation in detail, as…

Visit Official Website Of UIDAI

To first, here your presence makes it translucent clear that you have been issued with an aadhaar card and you also have your aadhaar number with you.

Not only that but you also have your number registered with UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India).

So, under this alternative step – what you need to do is visit the official website of UIDAI.

It will look somewhat like this…

By reaching this screen, just scroll your cursor (take you mouse pointer) to the “My Aadhaar” button. Following this will open a drop-down menu list.

Have a look at the list and upcoming screen via the GIF, as follows…

From My Aadhaar, Select Download Aadhaar

Yes, from the above-represented screen you need to select the “Download Aadhaar” option. It seems to be there only under the “Get Aadhaar” menu list.

The list contains the following options…

• Locate an Enrolment Center
• Book an Appointment
• Check Aadhaar Status
• Download Aadhaar ->
• Retrieve Lost or Forgotten EID/UID
• Order Aadhaar Reprint
• Check Aadhaar Reprint Status

Among these options, you have to select the “Download Aadhaar” option. Upon selecting this option, you will face a new tab with a new screen with several options to download the aadhar card.

Have a look at the same via the GIF, as follows…

Select: Aadhaar Number & Fill 12 Digit UID

As mentioned in step 03; Upon selecting the “Download Aadhaar” option, you will face a new tab with a new screen with several options to download the aadhaar card, here they are; under “Download electronic copy of your aadhaar” heading.

• Aadhaar Number ->
• Enrolment ID (EID)
• Virtual ID (VID)

From these points, select the “Aadhaar Number” option. Though itself selected option is also aadhaar number, but just confirm it for once whether the selected option is aadhaar number or not.

Upon confirming, fill the 12 digit UID (Unique Identity – like 1234/1234/1234) or so-called your aadhaar number.

It seems to be confusing, right? Ok, let me make it easy for you: have a look at the GIF representation…

Mark or Not “Masked Aadhaar” Option But Enter The Captcha

Yes, upon filling your aadhaar number (12 digit UID) you have been asked to mark an option, named “I want a masked Aadhaar”.

Well, it is not mandatory to select this option. But selecting this will enable you to download your aadhaar card with only the last four (4) digits being visible.

On the other hand, if you don’t select this option then you will be allotted with a regular aadhaar card (a formal aadhaar card with all 12 digits being visible).

What next? Next is to fill the captcha which is provided just aside of the blank space to fill with.

Upon filing the captcha, hit (press) either option “Send OTP” or “Enter a TOTP” OR “Face Auth”. Wherein, if you hit the “Send OTP” option then you will receive a six (6) digit code on your registered mobile number.

Note – 01: Remember that the OTP (OPT full form is — One-Time Temporary Password) will be valid for 10 mins only/-

Whereas, if you hit the “Enter the TOPT” option then you will receive an 8 digit long numeric string on your same registered mobile number.

Note – 02: Remember that the TOTP (TOPT full form is — Time-based One-Time Temporary Password) will be valid for 30 seconds only/-

And if you hit the last one i.e “Face Auth” (option to come soon) then you will be asked to ensure the following conditions…

• Firstly ensure you are in the correct lighting.
• To second — stay still for the smooth capture of your face.
• To third — allow the browser to use your device’s camera.
• Click ‘OK’ to continue.

It’s just too much work. So, avoid these all options and select the “Send OTP” option.

Note – 03: Remember that the Face Auth (Face Auth full form is — Face Authentication) will be placed only if found to be following the above-mentioned points.

Finally, in order to view the complete process of doing the same, visit the GIF attached-above with the step 3rd (third).

Enter OPT & Select Verify And Download Aadhaar

The time you will hit either option “Send OTP” or “Enter a TOTP”, you will face a new screen each time, asking you to provide the OTP or TOTP.

So, no matter what you press, just enter what you received and scroll down to look for the “Verify And Download Aadhaar” option.

However, in the way of scrolling, you will be asked to take a quick survey.

Mark: The survey part is mandatory and till the UIDAI creates your e-Aadhaar, they request you to take this short survey so that they can improve their services.

Not only this, they assure you that they will keep all your information confidential.

The survey part asks you to deal with only two (2) questions, where the first question contains two options and the second contains five (5) options, mentioned as follows…

Q -01: Did you know that you can order a reprint of your aadhaar letter from the UIDAI website?

• Yes ->
• No

To this, the answer is Yes. Of course, one can order a reprint of his/her aadhaar letter from the UIDAI website.

Now, let’s jump over to the next question, as follows…

Q – 02: In how many days did you receive the reprinted aadhaar letter after getting SMS from India post?

• Within 5 working days ->
• 6-10 days
• 11-15 days
• More than 15 days
• Did not receive

To this, the answer is – “Within 5 working days”. Yes, within 5 working days one can receive his/her reprinted e-aadhaar letter after getting SMS from India post.

All right.

What next? Next, later to survey, you have to look for the option “Verify And Download Aadhaar”.

However, to this I will say — the time you find it, click it.

Have a look here…

Doing so will immediately send you a message to the registered mobile number like –

Dear whatever, 1234/1234/1234/1234 is the virtual ID for your Aadhaar number: 1234/1234/1234, generated at <the following date>< the following time>.

And upon this, automatically your e-aadhaar will start downloading or it will ask you to save it with whatever name.

All done! Congratulations your aadhaar card has been downloaded within the PDF format.

As seems this screen will firstly ask you to select either option – “Aadhaar No (UID)” or “Enrolment ID (EID)”. Later to selecting the option, it will ask you to provide the details registered with the UIDAI like – “Full Name”, “Mobile No” or “Email Address”.

Needless to mention that it depends on your selection of retrieving method. Now, let’s jump over to the next phase…

From My Aadhaar, Select Download Aadhaar

Well, the on-going process is completely similar to that of the above-mentioned processes of downloading the aadhar by aadhaar number, enrolment number, and the virtual ID.

But, to my deal, I will elaborate on this method completely. Keep going…

As of heading demands to select the “Download Aadhaar” option from the “My Aadhaar”. So, at first, we need to locate the “My Aadhaar” button. It is right there on the top of the menu bar.

Found it? If not then visit it here via the GIF, illustrated as follows…

Going forth, as demonstrated in the GIF, click over the “Download Aadhaar” option.

As soon as you click over it, you will face a new tab with a new screen with several options to download the e-aadhaar card.

Also, you can visit this screen directly by clicking the link mentioned as… faadhaar.

Options will be similar to the radio button, as…

• Aadhaar Number ->
• Enrolment ID (EID) ->
• Virtual ID (VID) ->

Go with either option!

Select Any: Aadhaar Number or Enrolment No & Fill The Same

Under this alternative, you need to select the same methods which you have selected while retrieving the UID/EID.

If you have selected the UID option then select the “Aadhaar Number” radio button and fill the 12-digit UID (like – 1234/1234/1234).

Upon filing the UID (Aadhaar number), mark or not the “Masked Aadhaar” option and later to that enter the captcha.

At last, hit the “Send OTP” option.

Found it complicated? Don’t panic, understand it thoroughly via the GIF, here…

On the other hand, if you have selected the EID option then select the “Enrolment ID (EID)” radio button and fill the 14 digit-ENO along with a 14 digit date-time stamp printed on the enrolment slip.

Upon doing so, mark or not the “Masked Aadhaar” option but enter the captcha. Finally, after filing the captcha, press the “Send OTP” option.

Understand the entire process here…

Enter OPT & Select Verify And Download Aadhaar

Once you have received the OTP (One-Time Temporary Password), enter the same and start looking for the “Verify And Download Aadhaar”.

In the way of looking the same, you will be asked to take a quick survey. Though the survey part is mandatory so get done with it and later start looking for the same.

Don’t worry you will find it just next to the survey part.

Found it? If not then have a look at the GIF, illustrating the same…

Remark: Now you have your e-Aadhaar in the PDF format but do you know it is password protected.

Don’t panic with the password, the secret of this password is discussed in the last section of the very blog post within the print aadhar heading.

Finally, it was awesome to deal with this formula of downloading aadhaar card by name and DOB.

What next? Next, let’s discuss another method to download the aadhaar card i.e – aadhar card download with mobile number.

How To Download Aadhaar Card With Mobile Number: Online Format

These days, in order to enjoy certain government welfare facilities – one is required to have the “Aadhaar”.

Well said — aadhaar is somewhat: “Mera Aadhaar, Meri Pehchaan”.

Not only that but this document also acts as a proof of address and identity as well for an individual.

Needless to mention that it is a mandatory document and everyone is supposed to have it.

Going forth, when an individual enrolls for the aadhaar then he himself can download and print it by using the mobile number and even without mobile number.

Also, he can download it by using the enrolment number, virtual ID, aadhaar number, mobile applications, and the name + DOB or email address. Just depending on the condition to which it falls and upon the ID s/he haves.

This time, we are here with a quick overview guide on — aadhar card download with mobile number.

Let’s hear the rumble…

Remember: To be able to go with the process of aadhaar card download online by name and mobile number, you must have your mobile number or email address registered with the UIDAI at the time of enrolment and also any of the ID with you.

ID’s be like – Enrolment ID (EID) or Virtual ID (VID) or Aadhaar Number (UID).

All right! But what if one doesn’t have any of the ID. Not a big deal, you can create (generate) one.

Before jumping into the ID’s creating field, let’s know a well-known fact…

Fact — If you don’t have the UID (Aadhaar Number) then you can’t create the VID (Virtual ID). Somewhat VID is completely dependent on UID.

Hence, if you don’t have the VID then immediately start creating or generating the UID (Unique ID/Aadhaar Number) or EID (Enrolment ID).

The formula to create (generate) UID/EID is just a step away, here – Aadhaar Card Download By Name And Date Of Birth… You will find it by making a few scrolls down by reaching this guide.

But if you have the VID and not the EID/UID then instantly you can start downloading your aadhaar by visiting this section — Aadhaar Card Download BY Virtual ID (VID).

Also, if you have EID or UID and not the VID then also you can start downloading your aadhaar card by simply visiting either section…

• — Aadhaar Card Download By Aadhaar Number Only (UID).

• Create Either – VID || UID || EID
• From My Aadhaar, Select Download Aadhaar
