One person can order Aadhaar PVC cards online for whole family, using his mobile number

UIDAI launched the Aadhaar card in the form of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) card in October this year. Like a debit, credit, or PAN card, you can carry the PVC Aadhaar card in your wallet. UIDAI puts it as: "Loaded with the latest security features, Aadhaar is now more durable, portable, and instantly verifiable offline." UIDAI allows residents of India to reprint Aadhaar's letter on a PVC card by paying nominal charges of â‚¹50. Residents without a registered mobile phone number can also order with an alternative or unregistered mobile phone number. In fact, a person can order Aadhaar PVC cards online for the whole family, using their mobile phone number.

UIDAI in a recent tweet wrote: "You can use any mobile number to receive OTP for authentication, regardless of the mobile phone number registered in your Aadhaar. Therefore, one person can order Aadhaar PVC cards online for the whole family. Follow the link https://residentpvc.uidai.gov.in/order-pvcreprint to order now."
