The Unique Identification Authority of india (UIDAI) has introduced an easy method for families to order PVC Aadhaar cards for all members using a single mobile number. This update simplifies the process, especially for households where the family members' Aadhaar details are already linked to one mobile number. Here's how it works and what you need to know.
📲 What is PVC Aadhaar?
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Aadhaar is a laminated, durable, and wallet-sized version of the Aadhaar card that is more convenient and resistant to wear and tear. It’s designed to be easy to carry and more secure compared to the earlier paper Aadhaar. The PVC card includes a QR code, Aadhaar number, and biometric information for better authentication.
📝 Eligibility: Who Can Use One mobile Number for Family Aadhaar Orders?
To use one mobile number for ordering PVC Aadhaar cards for your entire family, the following conditions apply:
· Aadhar linked to the same mobile number: All family members’ Aadhaar numbers should be linked to the same mobile number.
· Family members’ Aadhaar numbers should be available to the person ordering the cards. These could include:
o Spouse
o Children
o Parents
o Siblings
If your family members’ Aadhaar details are linked to different mobile numbers, each person will need to place a separate order for their PVC Aadhaar card.
