The Aadhar authorizing body and also the unique identification authority of India (UIDAI) recently announced in its official Twitter account that the citizens of India can now request the Aadhar in the context of a PVC card.
The individual applying for the same will have to pay a nominal fee. Any citizen who has an Aadhar card number is capable to apply for the PVC format of the Aadhar.
If you do not have the number of yours registered in the Aadhar directory then you can submit a request for issuing a PVC card by using the non-registered number or the alternative mobile number.
The following are the security measures integrated with the new Aadhar card.
- Encrypted QR code that scans your fingerprint and retina
- A unique hologram
- A micro text which cannot be duplicated
- Ghost photo which will be unique or every individual
- Date of issue of the Aadhar card
- The printing date
