Aadhaar is a twelve digit individual identification number that serves as proof of identity & proof of address for residents of India. Along with supporting government initiatives, Aadhaar is essential for financial services.
All holders of Aadhaar cards have access to a range of services that are offered through Aadhaar. One of these services is the download of the Aadhaar PVC from the UIDAI website.
The recent introduction of safe and secure Aadhaar PVC cards by the Unique Identification Authority of India has prevented cardholders from buying their Aadhaar PVC duplicate on the open market due to security concerns. These will be delivered to the cardholders' addressed directly by the agency.
