The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is a statutory authority established to issue unique Aadhaar numbers and manage the Aadhaar database. It aims to provide a unique identity to residents of India and facilitate efficient delivery of government services.
How to place Aadhaar reprint request
The need for Aadhaar reprinting arises in situations where an individual's Aadhaar card is lost, stolen, damaged, or if they require an updated version of the card with corrected information. Reprinting ensures that individuals have access to their Aadhaar card, which serves as a crucial proof of identity and address for various purposes such as opening bank accounts, availing government subsidies, and conducting financial transactions.
To request a reprint of your Aadhaar card, follow these steps:
- Visit the UIDAI website or use the mAadhaar app
- Select ‘DOWNLOAD AADHAAR’
- Enter your Aadhaar number (UID) or Enrolment ID (EID)
- Request an OTP for verification
- Confirm your details and make the payment
- Download the duplicate Aadhaar card once the process is complete
Note: This service is crucial if you have lost or damaged your Aadhaar card. Follow UIDAI guidelines to maintain the validity of your unique identity.
