The document acts as a proof of address and identity for an Indian citizen.

Elaborating upon Aadhaar features Manikaran Singh, a SEBI registered tax and investment expert said, "Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identification number issued by the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India). Once an individual enrolls for the Aadhaar card by visiting the nearest Aadhaar Centres or Banks or Post-offices, he or she can download and print UIDAI Aadhaar by using the enrolment ID, virtual ID or Aadhaar number provided by the UIDAI. Once a number is issued, he or she can follow these different steps for Aadhar card download." Once the Aadhaar card is downloaded, one can take a printout of it for future references.
