Aadhaar card will now come in a completely new form as the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has allowed it to be reprinted as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) card. With this, you will be able to carry the Aadhaar card in your wallets, just like your ATM or debit cards.
“Your Aadhaar now comes in a convenient size to carry in your wallet,” UIDAI had earlier said in a tweet.
The all-new ‘Aadhaar PVC’ card, UIDAI said, is durable, attractive and comes with latest security features like a hologram, Guilloche pattern, ghost image and micro text. It is also completely weatherproof and can be verified offline instantly.
