PVC Aadhaar Card 2025: The Aadhaar card, a 12-digit unique identity number used as confirmation of identity and address, has become a must-have identity of proof in recent years.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) recommends that users revalidate their Aadhaar cards every ten years.
Previously, Aadhaar cards were produced on paper, which could be difficult to preserve in excellent shape even after lamination.
To address this, UIDAI developed the PVC Aadhaar card, which is intended to last a lifetime and is simple to maintain.
The most appealing feature is that it fits nicely in your wallet and appears to be like an ATM card, as the card is made of synthetic plastic and is 86 mm x 54 mm.
It is sturdy and includes security features such as holograms, guilloché patterns, and QR codes.
i. Go to the official UIDAI website: https://uidai.gov.in/ and select the preferred language to enter the website.
ii. Navigate to the website and click on the ‘My Aadhaar’ section.
iii. Click on ‘Order Aadhaar PVC Card.’
iv. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar Number (UID) or 28-digit Enrolment ID (EID).
v. Enter the security code (captcha) displayed on the screen.
vi. Proceed with OTP verification:
vii. After putting in the OTP received on your mobile device, click on ‘Submit.’.
viii. Post verification, review the Aadhaar details that will be displayed, and ensure all information is correct.
ix. Click on ‘Make Payment.’.
x. Upon successful payment, an acknowledgement receipt with a Service Request Number (SRN) will be generated.
xi. You can use this SRN to track the status of your PVC Aadhaar card.
Please note: The UIDAI will process your request and hand over the printed PVC Aadhaar card to India Post within five working days (excluding the date of request); delivery by Speed Post typically takes an additional 5 to 15 working days, depending on your location.
