How to order PVC Aadhaar Card: Aadhaar card used in most official works in India is one of the most important documents that it should have at all times. However, the earlier form of Aadhaar was very large and it was not easy to carry it in your pocket or wallet.
Bringing much needed change, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) introduced a new base last year, which is much smaller, portable and more durable. All new Aadhaar cards have now been reprinted on this compact version of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) card.
These cards look like your ATM card and you can take them anywhere inside your wallet. The compact PVC Aadhaar card has been prepared with features like Hologram, Guilloche Pattern, Ghost Image, Micro Text, Water Protection. You can easily verify these cards offline too.
If you also want to get your PVC Aadhaar Card made, then you can do this in two ways. For the first method, you have to go to the official UIDAI website. The second method involves scanning the Aadhaar QR Code with POST. UIDAI will charge Rs 50 for the Aadhaar card, which is given through speed post.
