Download e-Aadhaar: In today’s digital age, the Aadhaar card has become a necessary document for all government and private purposes. However, it’s not always easy to keep it with you. Therefore, UIDAI has provided an easy and secure option for citizens—e-Aadhaar. This is a digital version of your Aadhaar card, which you can download and use on your mobile, laptop, or tablet anytime, anywhere.

Why e-Aadhaar is Important
e-Aadhaar is a digital copy of your Aadhaar card, digitally signed and password-protected by UIDAI. It is completely valid and secure. It also contains a secure QR code, allowing offline verification. UIDAI also offers a masked e-Aadhaar option, which only displays the last four digits of your Aadhaar number. This further protects your privacy.
What is the use of e-Aadhaar?
e-Aadhaar is as valid as a physical Aadhaar card. It can be used as proof of identity, address, and photo ID at government and private institutions. Whether it’s for a passport application, banking services, opening a demat account, or proving your identity at any office, e-Aadhaar is valid everywhere. Now, you don’t need to carry a plastic card with you at all times.
