The UIDAI has stated that one can get Aadhaar card letter hard copy delivered in just 15 days time via speed post. Citizens can raise the request for Aadhaar card reprint by visiting UIDAI official website or portal using 12 digit Aadhaar Number (UID) or 16 digit Virtual Identification Number (VID). UIDAI helps citizens in ordering a reprint. This service can be done using both registered mobile number and non-registered one as well. In both cases, you will receive a One-Time-Password. However, it is always safe to make sure your mobile is registered with UIDAI.

The service is being done on a pilot basis, but there is a catch - it can be availed only by paying a nominal charge. The service is generally done when you have lost or misplaced your Aadhaar card. 

UIDAI says, "If you wish to get the Aadhaar letter hardcopy, you can use the #OrderAadhaarReprint service. At a nominal fee of Rs. 50, you get your Aadhaar letter delivered to you via Speed Post in 15 days. Order one now: https://resident.uidai.gov.in/aadhaar-reprint #AadhaarEssentials."

On its website, UIDAI reveals that, on every Aadhaar reprint order, you will have to pay Rs 50 inclusive of GST and speed post charges. One can make the payment using credit card, debit card, net banking and UPI method.

After receiving order for Aadhaar reprint request from citizen, the UIDAI will handover printed letter to DoP within 5 working days (excluding the date of request). 

Aadhaar card reprint will be delivered using Speed post service of Department of Post (DoP). In line with DoP delivery norms and status, one can track its movement from indiapost.gov.in using AWR which is sent on SMS. 

AWB is termed as Airway Bill Number which is a tracking number generated by India Speed Post for the assignment or product that they deliver.
