There are a few different ways that you can perform an Aadhaar card download online. For each of
these download methods, you will need to have access to different information — such as your
Aadhaar number or EID.

How to Download Aadhaar Card with Aadhar Number

The easiest way to download your Aadhaar card online is to use your Aadhaar number. To do this,
follow these steps.

Step 5: Click ‘Verify’ and download your Aadhaar card.
This will download a password-protected e-Aadhaar card that you can access by entering your
password. This password is formed by entering your name’s first four letters and birth year. For
example, if your name is Rekha Kapoor and you were born in 1969, your password would be
REKH1969. Make sure you enter the first four letters of your name in all CAPITAL letters.

How to Download Aadhaar Card with Enrolment ID

If you have not received your Aadhaar card yet, or you have forgotten your Aadhaar number, you can still download your Aadhaar card. You can use the steps below to download your Aadhaar card using your Enrolment ID (EID).
Step 1: Visit UIDAI’s official website: www.uidai.gov.in.

Step 4: Click the ‘Send OTP’ button. Once you press this button, you will receive a 6-digit OTP on your registered mobile number.
Step 5: Enter the ‘OTP’ and click the ‘Submit’ button.
Step 6: You will receive your Aadhaar number in a text message to your registered mobile number.

How to Print Your Aadhaar Card Download PDF

Printing your Aadhaar card after downloading it is quite straightforward. All you need to do is enter
your Aadhaar download PDF password. This password is an 8-digit password formed by the first four letters of your name (written in CAPITAL letters) and the four digits of your birth year. For example, if your name is Vivek Kumar and you were born in 1999, your password would be VIVE1999.
