Aadhaar card, the most crucial identity verification document in our country, has undergone a change. The card will now come in an entirely new form – smaller, portable and more durable.
UIDAI has launched a new service for Aadhaar cardholders in the form of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) card. Just like your debit or credit card or PAN card, you will be able to carry the PVC Aadhaar card in your wallet.
Other than being easy to carry and durable, the PVC-based Aadhaar Card has a digitally signed secure QR code with photograph and demographic details with multiple security features.
Aadhaar PVC Card can be ordered online through uidai.gov.in or resident.uidai.gov.in using Aadhaar number, Virtual ID or Enrolment ID. The card will be delivered to the resident's address by speed post.
