Aadhaar Card Password

You can easily download an electronic copy of your Aadhaar card by visiting the link: myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. The downloaded copy in the PDF format is password-protected. The Aadhaar card password to open the PDF is a combination of the first four letters of your name in capital letters followed by your birth year. To put it simply, your e-Aadhaar password is NNNN followed by YYYY, where NNNN are the first four letters of your name (in CAPS) and YYYY is the year of your birth.

• For instance, suppose an individual’s name is Ram Narayan Agarwal and their year of birth is 1985. They have to enter RAMN1985 as their e-Aadhaar password to open the PDF.

• Let’s take another example. If an individual’s name is Ria Dhawan and their year of birth is 1990, their e-Aadhaar password would be RIAD1990.

   

You must ensure that there is no space, symbol, or punctuation mark between the capital letters of your name and the year of your birth.

Typically, any file in PDF format is considered digitally secure and password protection further enhances its security. As the e-Aadhaar contains your private information, the UIDAI compulsorily requires you to enter a password to open the downloaded e-Aadhaar PDF.

UIDAI requires you to enter a password before your e-Aadhaar file can be opened. Password protection, besides acting as a security cover, also prevents any kind of unauthorised usage of the Aadhaar information. The e-Aadhaar password ensures that the document is accessed only by a genuine cardholder.

Once you have downloaded the electronic copy of your Aadhaar card online, you can easily open it by following the steps mentioned below:

• Step 1: Double-click on the downloaded PDF file. The file will prompt you to enter a password.

• Step 2: Enter your e-Aadhaar password in the format NNNNYYYY, where NNNN are the first four letters of your name (all CAPS) and YYYY is the year of birth.

As you can see, it has become so convenient you carry a soft copy of your Aadhaar Card by downloading it on your smartphone or tablet. Since the e-Aadhaar is a sensitive document, it is password protected, for added security. With an e-Aadhaar there is no fear of loss of the document or its misuse. 

Your Aadhaar number gives you access to a plethora of facilities and services including the ability to apply for home loans. If you are interested in knowing more, then simply visit Bajaj Markets to explore the house loan options from some of India’s top lenders.
