Make Your Aadhaar Card More Secure With A PVC Card: Here's How to Apply
The Aadhaar card has become an essential document in India, and its usage is widespread. While the traditional paper-based Aadhaar card was prone to damage, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced a more durable and secure option – the PVC Aadhaar card.
The PVC Aadhaar card is made of plastic and features advanced security measures, including a QR code, micro-text, hologram, and ghost image. This makes it a more robust and long-lasting alternative to the traditional paper-based card.
Applying for a PVC Aadhaar card is a straightforward process that can be completed online. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Visit the official UIDAI website ((link unavailable)) and click on the “My Aadhaar” section.
2. Select the “Order Aadhaar PVC Card” option and enter your Aadhaar number and captcha.
3. Verify your details using the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
4. Review your digital Aadhaar card and verify the details.
5. Click on the “Place Order” button and pay the required fee of ₹50 using debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI.
6. Your PVC Aadhaar card will be dispatched to your address via speed post within 15 days.
In addition to applying for a PVC Aadhaar card, users can also download their e-Aadhaar card from the UIDAI’s MyAadhaar portal. To do this, users will need to verify their mobile number using OTP and then download their e-Aadhaar card using the mAadhaar app.
By applying for a PVC Aadhaar card, users can ensure that their Aadhaar card is more secure and durable, reducing the need for repeated replacements.
