Step 1: Visit the Official UIDAI Website

Go to the official Aadhaar website: https://uidai.gov.in

Step 2: Click on ‘Download Aadhaar’

On the homepage, look for the option Download Aadhaar or visit directly: https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/

Step 3: Enter Your Details

  • Aadhaar Number / Enrolment ID / Virtual ID
  • Full Name (as per Aadhaar)
  • Pin Code
  • Captcha code

Step 4: Request for OTP

Click on Send OTP. You will receive a One Time Password (OTP) on your registered mobile number.

Step 5: Enter OTP and Download

Enter the OTP received and click on Verify and Download. Your e-Aadhaar PDF file will start downloading.

Step 6: Open e-Aadhaar

The downloaded e-Aadhaar PDF is password protected. The password is the first four letters of your name in CAPITAL letters followed by your birth year (YYYY).
Example: If your name is Rahul Kumar and birth year is 1990, then the password will be RAHU1990.
