How to download e-Aadhaar?

At present, the Aadhaar is one of the most important documents at one's possession to prove one's identity. The Aadhaar is a verifiable 12-digit identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to the resident of India for free of cost.

An individual must also note that as per Aadhaar Act, e-Aadhaar is equally valid like Physical Copy of Aadhaar for all purposes.

The e-Aadhaar can be downloaded in two ways. They are as follows:

1) By Using Enrollment Number- In this case, an individual can download e-Aadhaar using 28-digit enrolment number along with full name and PIN code. In this download process, an OTP is received on registered mobile number. An individual can also use TOTP to download e-Aadhaar instead of OTP. TOTP can generated using mAadhaar mobile application.

In this download process OTP is received on registered mobile number. The user can also use TOTP to download e-Aadhaar instead of OTP. TOTP can generated using mAadhaar mobile Application.
