Aadhaar is one of the most important documents in India, used for government services, banking, and everyday verification. But what if you suddenly need it and don’t have a copy on your phone? Don’t worry—you can now download your Aadhaar card via WhatsApp, quickly and easily.
1. Keep DigiLocker Ready
Before you start, make sure you have a DigiLocker account. This is essential because whatsapp will fetch your Aadhaar from DigiLocker.
- If you already have an account, you’re ready.
- If not, create one via the DigiLocker website or the DigiLocker app.
WhatsApp acts as a third option from UIDAI, alongside the mAadhaar app and the DigiLocker portal.
2. Save the Official whatsapp Number
To use this service, save the official MyGov Helpdesk whatsapp number:
+91-9013151515
This is the authorized number to download Aadhaar via whatsapp, even if you don’t have the mAadhaar or DigiLocker app on your phone.
3. Start a Chat
- Open whatsapp and start a chat with the saved number.
- Type Hi to begin interacting with the chatbot.
- You will receive a menu with multiple options.
4. Select DigiLocker Services
From the menu, choose DigiLocker Services. This will allow the chatbot to access your documents stored in DigiLocker.
5. Enter Your Aadhaar and OTP
- Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number.
- An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number.
- Enter the OTP in the chat to verify your identity.
6. Access Your Aadhaar
Once verified, the chatbot will display a list of all documents available in DigiLocker.
- Select Aadhaar from the list.
- Your Aadhaar card will appear directly on WhatsApp within minutes.
7. Benefits of Downloading via WhatsApp
