To get a copy of their e-Aadhaar, users can go to UIDAI's official website, uidai.gov.in, or eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in.
Aadhaar card has become a mandatory identification document in India, issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Aadhaar is not only required for government schemes but for financial services as well. It is also linked with bank accounts, vehicles and insurance policies etc. Aadhaar card contains the details of the person's name, date of birth, gender, address and photograph.
However, we don't always have a physical copy of our Aadhaar card all the time. An e-Aadhaar will be sufficient for availing of all those services. UIDAI allows Indians to obtain their Aadhaar card through the official website even if they do not have a registered mobile number.
E-Aadhaar is digitally signed by the competent Authority of UIDAI, is a password protected electronic copy of Aadhaar. Whereas AAdhaar card is a physical copy which also issued by the UIDAI to the residents of India after satisfying the verification process laid down by the Authority.
According to the information on the UIDAI website, as per the Aadhaar Act, e-Aadhaar is equally valid like a Physical Copy of Aadhaar for all purposes. E-aadhaar can be accessed digitally via the Internet at uidai.gov.in or eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in links.
There are essentially two methods to download an e-Aadhaar:
Enrollment number: You can download an e-Aadhaar using a 28 digit enrolment number along with full name and Pin code. You will receive an OTP on registered your mobile number. You can also use TOTP to download e-Aadhaar instead of OTP. TOTP can be generated using mAadhaar mobile Application.
Aadhaar number: You can download e-Aadhaar by using 12 digits Aadhaar number along with full name and pin code. In this download process, you will get OTP on your registered mobile number, like the above process. You can also use TOTP to download e-Aadhaar instead of OTP by generating mAadhaar mobile Application.
However, you need to know your password to be able to download your e-Aadhaar. But what if you don't remember your password? Well, there is a set pattern that you can follow and even if you keep forgetting your password, it will not be very difficult for you to get it back.
