What is Aadhar Card?
The Aadhar is a 12-digit unique identification number issued by the Indian government to every individual resident of India. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UDAI), which functions under the Planning Commission of India, is responsible for managing Aadhar numbers and Aadhar identification cards. A resident Indian can apply for the Aadhar number and card by submitting the existing proof of identity (passport, PAN card, driving license, etc.) and proof of address (phone/ power bill, bank statements, etc.) and by undergoing biometric profiling (fingerprints and iris scan) at any Aadhar center. Aadhar is a unique identification document or number that would capture all the details, including demographic and biometric information, of every resident Indian individual. If you’ve misplaced your Aadhar card, don’t panic because you can easily download a fresh copy. The good thing about Aadhar is that unlike some other identity cards, its digital copy, downloaded from the UIDAI website, is as valid as the original card. So whether you’ve misplaced your card and need a new one, or just wanted to get a digital copy of the card to submit a form online.
