Download my e-Aadhaar
Download your own e-Aadhaar PDF on the official myAadhaar website or Aadhaar app. It is as valid as the paper Aadhaar. You need the mobile linked to Aadhaar.
Free on the official page. Your own numbers only. We have no automated link to any government portal, use no private data services, and never store the result.
What you need
- One of your own numbers: the 12-digit Aadhaar number, the enrolment number (EID, the long number on your enrolment slip) or the VID (Virtual ID, a 16-digit number that stands in for your Aadhaar number).
- The mobile number linked to your Aadhaar, with that phone in your hand for the OTP (one-time code).
- A phone or computer that can open a PDF file. UIDAI (the Aadhaar office) asks for the latest Adobe Reader.
- Only your own Aadhaar, or a family member's when they are with you and agree.
What to do on the official page
- Open the official myAadhaar 'Download Aadhaar' page (the button on this page). Its address ends in uidai.gov.in. Do not use other sites that ask for your Aadhaar number.
- Or use the official Aadhaar app from UIDAI on your phone. It can also download e-Aadhaar.
- Choose what you will type: your Aadhaar number, enrolment number (EID) or VID.
- Type the number and the picture code (captcha), then ask for the OTP.
- If you want a masked Aadhaar, tick that option. Only the last 4 digits of your Aadhaar number show on it.
- An OTP comes to the mobile linked to your Aadhaar. Type it yourself. Never tell it to anyone.
- The PDF downloads. Open it with the password: the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITAL letters, then your year of birth. Example: SURESH KUMAR, born 1990, is SURE1990.
What the result means
The portal shows: A PDF file downloads, and it opens with your password.
It means: This is your e-Aadhaar. UIDAI says e-Aadhaar is as valid as the paper Aadhaar.
What to do next: Save it on your phone. Share it only where you must. A masked copy is safer for hotels and shops.
The portal shows: The PDF downloads but asks for a password that does not work.
It means: The password must follow your name exactly as on Aadhaar. A dot counts as a letter. Short names use all letters: P. KUMAR is P.KU1990, RIA is RIA1990.
What to do next: Use CAPITAL letters and the year of birth on your Aadhaar. Open the file in the latest Adobe Reader.
The portal shows: No OTP comes to your phone, or your mobile is not linked to Aadhaar.
It means: UIDAI says your mobile must be linked to Aadhaar to use online services.
What to do next: Go to an Aadhaar centre to add your mobile (official fee ₹75). A centre can also download and print your Aadhaar in colour for the official fee of ₹40. Help: UIDAI helpline 1947 (free).
The portal shows: An error, or the page does not open.
It means: The number, captcha or OTP was wrong or late, or the site is busy.
What to do next: Check the number, type a new captcha and try again later. Forgot your number? Use the free check below to get it by SMS.
Frequently asked questions
Is e-Aadhaar valid like the Aadhaar letter?
Yes. UIDAI says e-Aadhaar is equally valid like the physical copy of Aadhaar.
What is the e-Aadhaar PDF password?
The first 4 letters of your name in CAPITAL letters, then your year of birth (4 digits). SURESH KUMAR born in 1990 is SURE1990.
What is a masked Aadhaar?
It is an e-Aadhaar where the first 8 digits of the number are hidden. Only the last 4 show. You get it only as e-Aadhaar.
Do I pay to download e-Aadhaar?
No. Downloading on the official myAadhaar website or Aadhaar app is free. A colour print at an Aadhaar centre has the official fee of ₹40. FormSathi does not charge for this page.
