In Summary

You can download your e-Aadhaar digitally after your Aadhaar has been generated or your update request has been completed.


  • Step 1: Visit the official UIDAI website and open the e-Aadhaar download service.
  • Step 2: Select Aadhaar Number, Enrolment ID or another available identification option.
  • Step 3: Enter the required Aadhaar details and security code.
  • Step 4: Verify your identity using the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
  • Step 5: Download and save your e-Aadhaar PDF for future use.
  • UIDAI also allows Aadhaar holders to access services through the Aadhaar app.

Your e-Aadhaar contains the same data as the Aadhaar letter and is a digitally signed electronic document. UIDAI states that e-Aadhaar is treated on par with the printed Aadhaar letter.

What is e-Aadhaar?

e-Aadhaar is a digitally signed electronic version of your Aadhaar that you can download through UIDAI's official online services. It contains the same Aadhaar details as the physical Aadhaar letter and can be used when you need to provide your Aadhaar information.


You can access e-Aadhaar after your Aadhaar has been successfully generated. You can also download an updated e-Aadhaar after your Aadhaar details have been successfully updated.


The e-Aadhaar PDF is password-protected to help keep your personal information secure. You can save the document digitally on your device or print it when you need a physical copy.


Before using e-Aadhaar, check that your name, date of birth, gender and other details are correct. If you notice an error, you can use the applicable UIDAI services to request an update.

How can you download e-Aadhaar in 5 steps?

You can download your e-Aadhaar by following these five steps through UIDAI's online service.


Step 1: Visit the official UIDAI website

Go to the official UIDAI website and access the Aadhaar download service.


Use the official UIDAI website rather than third-party websites when entering your Aadhaar details or OTP.


UIDAI's website provides a dedicated Download Aadhaar service through its Aadhaar services section.


Step 2: Choose your identification method

Select the identification option available to you on the Aadhaar download page.


UIDAI's Aadhaar Handbook states that you can download e-Aadhaar using your 12-digit Aadhaar number or your 28-digit Enrolment ID (EID).


If you use your EID, keep your enrolment details available because you need to enter the information associated with your enrolment record.


Step 3: Enter your Aadhaar details

Enter the requested identification details and complete the security verification shown on the page.


Check the details carefully before submitting them. An incorrect Aadhaar number or Enrolment ID can prevent you from retrieving the correct document.


If you do not remember your Aadhaar number or EID, UIDAI also provides online services for retrieving a lost UID or EID using your registered mobile number.


Step 4: Complete OTP verification

Request an OTP and enter the verification code sent to your registered mobile number.


Keep your registered mobile phone available during the download process. Do not share your OTP with another person.


If you no longer have access to the mobile number registered with your Aadhaar, you may need to update your mobile number through the applicable UIDAI process before using OTP-based online services.


Step 5: Download and save your e-Aadhaar

After successful verification, download the e-Aadhaar PDF and save it securely on your device.


You can also print the document when you need a physical copy. UIDAI states that the e-Aadhaar is a digitally signed electronic document and is treated on par with the printed Aadhaar letter.


Keep the downloaded file in a secure location because it contains your personal identification information.

What should you do if you forget your Aadhaar number?

If you have forgotten your Aadhaar number, you can use UIDAI's online service to retrieve your lost Aadhaar number or Enrolment ID (EID). The process allows you to recover these details using information linked to your Aadhaar.


To retrieve your details, you generally need to provide your name and the mobile number or email address registered with your Aadhaar. UIDAI may send the recovered Aadhaar number or EID to your registered contact details after verification.


If you no longer have access to your registered mobile number or email address, you may need to use an alternative UIDAI service or visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra for assistance.


Always use UIDAI's official website or authorised Aadhaar services when recovering your Aadhaar details. Avoid sharing your Aadhaar number, OTP or other personal information with unauthorised websites or individuals.

How can you keep your e-Aadhaar secure?

You should treat your downloaded e-Aadhaar as sensitive identification information because it contains personal details that can be misused if shared carelessly. Take reasonable precautions when downloading, storing or providing your Aadhaar document.


Follow these precautions:

  • Use official UIDAI services: Download your e-Aadhaar only through UIDAI's official website or authorised services. Avoid entering Aadhaar details on unknown websites or applications.
  • Protect your OTP: Never share the OTP received on your registered mobile number with another person. An OTP can be used to complete Aadhaar-related authentication.
  • Share carefully: Avoid sending your complete Aadhaar PDF through unsecured or unnecessary channels. Before sharing it, confirm who is requesting it and why it is required.
  • Secure your device: Store the e-Aadhaar PDF on a password-protected device or another secure location. Avoid keeping sensitive documents in publicly accessible folders or shared devices.
  • Check the recipient: Verify the organisation, person or service requesting your Aadhaar details. Share the document only when it is required for a legitimate purpose.
  • Consider Masked Aadhaar: Where accepted, you can use Masked Aadhaar when you do not need to disclose your full Aadhaar number. It conceals the first eight digits while displaying the last four digits.

These precautions can reduce unnecessary exposure of your Aadhaar details while allowing you to use e-Aadhaar when identification or verification is required.

What is the password for your e-Aadhaar PDF?

Your downloaded e-Aadhaar PDF is password protected to help protect your Aadhaar details. The password is created using the first four letters of the name printed on your Aadhaar, followed by your year of birth in YYYY format.


For example, if the name printed on your Aadhaar is RAHUL KUMAR and the year of birth is 1995, the password would be RAHU1995.


If your name has fewer than four letters, use the available letters followed by your year of birth. Enter the name exactly as it appears on your Aadhaar and use the four-digit year of birth.


If the PDF does not open, check the name and year-of-birth details used to generate the password. You should also follow the latest password instructions provided by UIDAI, as its document-access guidance may be updated.

Can you download Aadhaar through the Aadhaar app?

Yes. UIDAI's current Aadhaar app provides access to several Aadhaar-related services, including the facility to download e-Aadhaar. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices, allowing you to access Aadhaar services through your mobile phone.


Using the app, you can access or manage eligible Aadhaar services without visiting an Aadhaar centre. Depending on the services currently supported, these may include updating your registered mobile number and address, locking or unlocking biometrics, viewing authentication history and tracking service requests.


To use Aadhaar services through the app, you may need to complete the required authentication using your registered mobile number and OTP. The availability of specific features can change as UIDAI updates the application.


Download or use the Aadhaar app only through official sources and check the latest UIDAI instructions before submitting your Aadhaar details.

What should you remember when downloading e-Aadhaar?
