Thanks to digital technology, you can now download your Aadhaar card easily just by using your mobile phone number. The entire process is quite simple and now you can get the Aadhaar downloaded after verifying OTP, which is safe and hassle-free. You will have no trouble completing the Aadhaar verification process as long as your Aadhaar number is linked to your mobile phone number. If you did not know, Aadhaar is one of the important KYC documents, providing proof of identity, and smooth processes for your financial needs – for example, applying for personal loans. Hence, this article provides all the details for the Aadhaar download, using your mobile phone number.

To download your Aadhaar card, it is necessary to use a mobile number connected to your Aadhaar card. This is because you will get an OTP for verification. You can safely download Aadhaar from the official website of UIDAI or from the mAadhaar app. This allows you access to your e-Aadhaar anytime, anywhere.

Requirements:

Registered mobile number: Your mobile number must be linked to your Aadhaar number. It should also be enabled so you can receive the OTP. The OTP is used to verify your identity.

Aadhaar number or enrolment ID: You will require either your Aadhaar 12-digit number (UID) or the enrolment ID (EID) which is included with your registration slip. The EID will also include your enrolment date and time.

Having these two in place will create a more streamlined downloading experience. The digital or e-Aadhaar works the same way the physical card works. It can be helpful for identification purposes as well as financial purposes such as applying for a personal loan.
