Order Aadhaar PVC Card Online 2026: ₹50, Speed Post, Status Tracking

UIDAI started the PVC card programme in April 2020 as a paid value-added service. Over 9 crore PVC cards had been dispatched by end of FY 2024-25 (UIDAI Annual Report 2024-25). The Aadhaar number printed on a PVC card is the same as your existing Aadhaar — this is not a new enrolment, not a new number, and your old Aadhaar (paper, e-PDF, m-Aadhaar app) all stay valid in parallel. You can also download your e-Aadhaar PDF for free if you don't need the plastic card.

The Aadhaar PVC card is a credit-card-sized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) card that carries:

• Your same 12-digit Aadhaar number.
• Your photograph, name, gender, DOB, address — laser-engraved (not printed in normal ink).
• A secure QR code that contains your demographic + photograph data signed digitally by UIDAI — this enables offline e-KYC without needing the internet or an OTP.
• A tamper-resistant hologram on the front and micro-print in the background.
• A Guilloche pattern (the wavy line background like on currency notes) and a ghost image (faint copy of your photo) — both anti-counterfeit features.
• Issued date and printed date on the back.

The legal anchor is §3 and §4 of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016, read with the UIDAI Circular dated 1 April 2020 that introduced the PVC card as an additional secure carrier of Aadhaar information, and the UIDAI tariff notification that fixed the fee at ₹50 (inclusive of GST + Speed Post charges). The full text of the Act is available at the Aadhaar Act 2016 on UIDAI's official website.

What the PVC card is NOT:

• Not a new Aadhaar. Your Aadhaar number does not change.
• Not mandatory. The paper Aadhaar, e-Aadhaar PDF, m-Aadhaar app are all equally valid under the Act and PMLA notifications.
• Not available offline at the Aadhaar Seva Kendra. The Seva Kendras issue paper Aadhaar / coloured A4 printouts. The PVC card can be ordered only through the online myaadhaar portal.
• Not a replacement for biometric update. If you need to update your photo or fingerprints, that's a separate process at the Seva Kendra — see our guide on Aadhaar update fees and process.

Go to https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. This is the only legitimate ordering URL. There are several lookalike domains run by middlemen who charge ₹200-₹500 — do not pay them. You can verify the official portal at UIDAI's main website.

You can also reach the same page by clicking “Order Aadhaar PVC Card” on the homepage of https://uidai.gov.in.

You can identify yourself in three ways:

• Aadhaar number — the 12-digit number itself.
• VID (Virtual ID) — the 16-digit revolving ID generated from your Aadhaar (more privacy-friendly).
• EID (Enrolment ID) — the 28-digit ID issued at the time of original enrolment, useful if you are a recent enrolee whose Aadhaar number has not been generated yet. If you don't have your Aadhaar number handy, see our guide on how to check Aadhaar status and download.

Enter the security captcha shown on screen. Then click “Send OTP”.

This is the most important fork in the process. Read both options.

Option A — Registered mobile (preferred). If your registered mobile is active and you can receive SMS, the OTP comes in 30 seconds. Enter the 6-digit OTP. You'll see a “My Mobile number is registered” indicator after entering OTP — that confirms it.

Option B — Non-registered mobile / Aadhaar mobile not active. If you can't receive OTP on the registered number (lost SIM, ported number, registered number was a relative's mobile), tick “My Mobile number is not registered”. UIDAI will then ask you to enter:

• An alternate mobile (any working number).
• Your full name as per Aadhaar.
• Date of birth.
• State.
• Pincode.

UIDAI runs an additional security check using these against the database before allowing the order. The success rate on this route is around 85% — failures usually trace back to a typo in DOB or an outdated address. If your Aadhaar itself has errors, fix them first via Aadhaar correction process.

If neither route works, you must go to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra with original ID proof and update your registered mobile (₹50 fee). After 1-2 days when the update reflects, retry the PVC order. You can track the mobile update via Aadhaar update status check.

The portal shows a preview of the Aadhaar that will be printed on the PVC card. Carefully check:

• Name spelling.
• DOB.
• Address (the full postal address — this is also where Speed Post will deliver).
• Photograph.
• Gender.

If anything is wrong, abort the order — first correct the data through Aadhaar Update (online or Seva Kendra), then come back. The PVC card prints exactly what's in the database; ordering “as-is” and complaining later doesn't help. See accepted documents for Aadhaar update.

Click “Make Payment”. You'll be redirected to UIDAI's payment gateway. Options:

• UPI (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM).
• Net banking — all major banks.
• Debit card (most cards work; some prepaid cards may be blocked).
• Credit card.

Total deducted: ₹50 (GST + Speed Post all included). There are no extra “convenience fees”.

After payment, you get a payment confirmation page and a downloadable receipt. Save the SRN (Service Request Number) — it's a 28-digit string and is your only handle for tracking.

Two ways:

• On myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → click “Check Aadhaar PVC Card Status” → enter SRN + captcha + OTP.
• Via SMS — send “RPRINT <last 4 digits of Aadhaar>” to 1947 from your registered mobile.

The status moves through these stages:

• In Process — payment received, queued for printing (1-2 days).
• In Print — at UIDAI's secure printer (2-3 days).
• Dispatched — handed to India Post Speed Post, with an India Post AWB number (5-7 days from order).
• Delivered — Speed Post confirmed delivery.

Once “Dispatched”, you can also track using the AWB number on https://www.indiapost.gov.in/_layouts/15/dop.portal.tracking/trackconsignment.aspx.

Speed Post tries delivery at your Aadhaar-registered address. Two attempts. If both fail (no one home, address not found), the consignment is held at the local post office for 7 days, then returned to sender (UIDAI) as RTS.

If you anticipate not being at home, leave instructions with the building security or a neighbour to receive — the postman doesn't need your signature ID, only a signed acknowledgement.

The PVC card is active from the moment it's printed — there's no “activation” step. You can use it immediately for:

• ID proof at airports (DigiYatra, CISF), railway stations, hotels, banks.
• Offline e-KYC — anyone with a UIDAI-licensed scanner can scan the QR code and instantly verify your identity without internet (used by SIM card sellers, gas agency, post office RD).
• PMLA-compliant KYC for new bank accounts, mutual funds, demat accounts.
• Self-attested copy for application forms — photocopy the PVC and self-sign.

The card has no expiry. UIDAI does not periodically reissue. If your photograph becomes badly outdated (typically 10+ years), you can do a biometric update at a Seva Kendra and then re-order a fresh PVC card.

If you want to check your PVC card status without logging into the portal, you can use the SMS-based status check from your registered mobile number:

• Send SMS: `RPRINT <last 4 digits of your Aadhaar number>` to 1947
• Example: If your Aadhaar ends in 5678, send: `RPRINT 5678` to 1947
• You'll receive an SMS back with the current status (In Process / In Print / Dispatched / Delivered)

Prerequisites for SMS status check:

• SMS must be sent from the mobile number registered with your Aadhaar. If your mobile is not registered, this method won't work — use the online portal's non-registered route instead.
• Standard SMS rates apply (UIDAI does not charge extra for this).
• The response comes within 1-5 minutes during working hours.

Alternative — Check status online:

• Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → “Check Aadhaar PVC Card Status”
• Enter your SRN (the 28-digit Service Request Number you received at payment) + captcha + OTP
• The portal shows detailed status including the India Post AWB number once dispatched

If you don't have the SRN, check your email — UIDAI sends the SRN to your registered email at the time of payment. You can also retrieve it by logging into myaadhaar with your Aadhaar number.

Once your PVC card status shows “Dispatched”, UIDAI hands over the card to India Post Speed Post. Here's how to track the physical delivery:

Step 1 — Get your AWB (tracking) number. The AWB number appears in your SRN status check on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. It's a 13-character alphanumeric code (e.g., `EM123456789IN`).

Step 2 — Track on India Post. Go to India Post Speed Post tracking and enter the AWB number. You'll see:

• Date of booking (when UIDAI handed it to Speed Post)
• Transit through sorting offices
• Arrival at your local delivery post office
• Out for delivery
• Delivered (with date and time)

Step 3 — If delivery failed. Speed Post makes two delivery attempts. If both fail:

• The consignment is held at your local post office for 7 days
• You can collect it in person by showing ID proof and the AWB number
• After 7 days unclaimed, it is returned to sender (UIDAI)

Step 4 — If returned to sender. Contact UIDAI at 1947 or [email protected] with your SRN and the India Post return confirmation. UIDAI will re-dispatch to the same address. If the address itself is wrong, first update your Aadhaar address online (free with valid proof), then request re-dispatch.

• Typical delivery timeline after dispatch: 2-5 days (urban), 5-10 days (rural / hilly / NE / J&K)
• Speed Post customer care: 1800-266-6868 or indiapost.gov.in

Many citizens are confused about the different forms of Aadhaar and which one to use. Here's a side-by-side comparison:

Bottom line: The PVC card is ideal for people who frequently need physical ID proof — travellers, professionals who visit banks/government offices often, and anyone tired of carrying a fragile paper Aadhaar. The e-Aadhaar PDF is the best free alternative for digital use. All forms carry the same legal validity under the Aadhaar Act 2016.

Yes, you can order a PVC card for your child, minor, or elderly parent. UIDAI provides a “Member of Family” feature on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in specifically for this. Here's how:

Who can use this feature:

• The Head of Family (HoF) — typically the parent whose Aadhaar is linked to the family's address.
• Any family member whose Aadhaar is linked to the HoF's address can be added.

Step-by-step for ordering a child's PVC card:

• Step 1: Log into myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in with the HoF's Aadhaar number + OTP.
• Step 2: Navigate to “Order Aadhaar PVC Card” → select “Member of Family”.
• Step 3: Enter the child's Aadhaar number (children get a full 12-digit Aadhaar after enrolment — baal Aadhaar is issued in blue colour for children under 5).
• Step 4: OTP verification — the OTP goes to the child's registered mobile (if the child has one) or the HoF's mobile (if the child's mobile is linked to the HoF).
• Step 5: Preview the child's details — verify name, DOB, photo.
• Step 6: Pay ₹50 per card. Each family member's card is a separate ₹50 transaction.
• Step 7: Note the SRN for each card separately.

Important notes for children's PVC cards:

• Children under 5 have baal Aadhaar (blue card). At age 5, they must do a mandatory biometric update (MBU) — see our guide on free biometric update at age 5.
• After the MBU at age 5, the child's Aadhaar is converted to a regular (white) Aadhaar. You can then order a PVC card with the updated biometric data.
• Children between 5-15 also need a biometric update at age 15. Order the PVC card after completing the age-15 update so the card has the latest photo.
• The OTP for ordering always goes to the registered mobile — if the child doesn't have a mobile, link the parent's mobile to the child's Aadhaar first.

If your PVC card is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can order a reprint (re-issue) through the same online process. UIDAI treats a reprint as a fresh order — there is no separate “reprint” button:

Reprint process (same as a new order):

• Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → “Order Aadhaar PVC Card”
• Enter your Aadhaar number + captcha + OTP
• Preview details (unchanged from your last order)
• Pay ₹50 again
• Get a new SRN
• Card is printed and dispatched in 10-15 days

Key points about reprints:

• No additional fee for reprint — it's the standard ₹50, same as a first-time order.
• No limit on reorders — you can order as many times as you need (but only one order per Aadhaar can be “In Process” at a time; wait for the current order to complete or be cancelled before placing a new one).
• Duplicate order block — if a PVC order is already “In Process” or “In Print”, a second order on the same Aadhaar will be blocked for 30 days. Wait, or check the existing SRN status first.
• Damaged card with wrong data? If the card was printed correctly but your data has since changed (address update, name correction), first update your Aadhaar data, then order a fresh PVC card with the corrected information. See Aadhaar correction guide.
• Lost card security concern? A lost PVC card cannot be “deactivated” — it carries no chip, no dynamic data. The QR code is digitally signed but contains only demographic data (no biometric). However, if you're concerned about misuse, you can lock your Aadhaar biometrics as a precaution.

The total cost of an Aadhaar PVC card is ₹50 (fifty rupees), inclusive of all charges:

Accepted payment methods:

• UPI — PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM, Amazon Pay, and any UPI-enabled app
• Net banking — all major Indian banks (SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, PNB, BoB, and 50+ others)
• Debit card — Visa, Mastercard, RuPay (most cards work; some prepaid cards may be blocked)
• Credit card — Visa, Mastercard, RuPay, Amex (select gateways)

Payment troubleshooting:

• Payment debited but SRN not generated? This happens when the bank's payment gateway times out. UIDAI auto-refunds within 5-7 working days. If no refund comes, raise a complaint at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in with your payment reference number (from your bank statement or UPI app).
• UPI payment failed? Try a different UPI app or switch to net banking. The UIDAI payment gateway is operated by BillDesk/CC Avenue and occasionally has temporary outages.
• International card? Not accepted. Only Indian-issued cards work. NRIs must use an Indian payment method (UPI through an Indian bank account, or net banking).
• Need a receipt for reimbursement? The payment confirmation page has a downloadable PDF receipt with the SRN, transaction ID, and GST details. Save it immediately — re-downloading later requires logging into myaadhaar.

If your PVC card hasn't arrived within the expected timeframe, follow this escalation ladder. Each rung is stronger than the one before:

• 1947 — works from any landline / mobile, 24×7 (English, Hindi + 12 regional languages).
• Email: [email protected].
• Best for: order status, SRN tracking, payment refund, dispatch query.
• Keep ready: SRN, Aadhaar number (last 4 digits enough), payment receipt.
• Expected response: 24-48 hours for email; immediate for phone.

• Twitter / X: @UIDAI and @uidaitechsupport — public tweets get faster answers than DMs in our experience.
• UIDAI Facebook page.
• Mention SRN and a one-line problem; do not post your full Aadhaar number publicly.

There are 8 UIDAI Regional Offices: Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Mumbai, Ranchi. Each has a Regional Director (Joint Secretary level). Walk-in or write to the RO covering your state. RO addresses are listed at UIDAI Contact Us → Regional Offices.

• https://pgportal.gov.in → ministry “Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY)” → “Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)”.
• 30-day SLA, automatically routed to the relevant Regional Office.
• Useful for documented escalation — every action is timestamped on the portal.

UIDAI is a public authority under §2(h) of the RTI Act 2005. PIOs are designated at the UIDAI HQ (New Delhi) and at each of the 8 Regional Offices. If you're new to RTI, read RTI in 12 simple steps for first-time filers first, or use AI to draft your RTI application.

RTI helps here when:

• Speed Post status shows “Delivered” but you never received the card — RTI to PIO at your Regional Office for the dispatch trail, AWB number, postman acknowledgement signature, and date of physical handover.
• Card was returned-to-sender by Speed Post and re-dispatch hasn't happened despite a fresh request — RTI for the return reason recorded by Speed Post and the next dispatch date.
• SRN status has been stuck on “In Process” for more than 21 days and helpline / CPGRAMS gave only stock replies — RTI for the internal note on the SRN and the cause of delay.
• Payment ₹50 was debited from your bank but no SRN was issued and no refund came — RTI for the payment reconciliation log between PG and UIDAI for that transaction.

See the dedicated guide: RTI for Aadhaar update rejected — copy-ready template (the same template structure works for PVC card disputes — just change the subject line). Also see RTI for Aadhaar status check for the full RTI process for Aadhaar-related queries.

RTI fee: ₹10 by Indian Postal Order (IPO) payable to “UIDAI” or “Accounts Officer, UIDAI”. BPL cardholders are exempt from the fee. See RTI form format and state-wise fee chart.

RTI does NOT help here when:

• You want to change the photograph or address on the card — that's a biometric / demographic update at the Seva Kendra, not an RTI matter.
• You want UIDAI to deliver to an address different from the registered Aadhaar address — they cannot legally do that; first update Aadhaar address.
• You want the Aadhaar Act / UIDAI policy explained — RTI is for “information held”, not for legal opinions or for explanation of why the law is structured a certain way. See RTI Section 8 exemptions for what can't be disclosed.
• You ordered yesterday and just want a status — wait the 10-15 day SLA. PIOs treat premature RTIs as an irritant and reply “matter is under processing”.
• You want a fresh Aadhaar number because you have privacy concerns about the existing one — UIDAI does not re-issue Aadhaar numbers (except in the rare deactivation/re-enrolment cases under §28). See Aadhaar deactivation and reactivation guide.

• Registered mobile is not active. SIM lost, number ported, or the registered number is no longer with you. OTP doesn't arrive. Fix: try the non-registered-mobile route; or visit a Seva Kendra and update mobile (₹50, separate process).
• Aadhaar in “exception” condition. If the original enrolment had no usable biometrics (very young child, elderly with worn fingerprints, certain disabilities), the system may flag the Aadhaar as biometric-exception and certain online services either go through extra checks or fail. Visit Seva Kendra for biometric update. See Aadhaar biometric locked / authentication failed guide.
• Address mismatch with Speed Post delivery. Your registered Aadhaar address might be your father's village house, but you're physically in Bengaluru. Speed Post delivers to the registered address only. Either get someone to receive there, or first update your Aadhaar address (online, free, with proof of new address), then order PVC.
• Speed Post cannot find address (rural / new layout). Pincode correct but house number / landmark unclear. Postman attempts, fails, returns. Fix: track via India Post tracking; if returned, file complaint at indiapost.gov.in or write to UIDAI for re-dispatch.
• Duplicate order attempt. If a PVC card order is already “In Process” / “In Print”, a second order on the same Aadhaar will be blocked for 30 days. Wait, or check the existing SRN status.
• Payment debited but SRN not generated. Bank's gateway hiccup. Money is auto-refunded by UIDAI in 5-7 working days. If not, raise a complaint with payment reference number.
• Card delivered but in wrong / damaged condition. Visible damage to PVC, wrong photo, blurred QR. Email [email protected] with photos within 7 days for a free re-print.

Q. Is the Aadhaar PVC card mandatory?
No. Paper Aadhaar, e-Aadhaar PDF (downloaded from uidai.gov.in or myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in for free), and the m-Aadhaar smartphone app are all equally valid under the Aadhaar Act and PMLA Master Direction. The PVC card is a paid convenience — sturdier and pocketable. See our companion guide How to download e-Aadhaar PDF — free in 2 minutes if you don't want to spend ₹50.

Q. Can I order a PVC card for my child / parent?
Yes — there's a “Member of Family” feature on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. The Head-of-Family logs in, adds family members (with their Aadhaar number), and orders a PVC card for each. Each card is ₹50. The OTP for verification still goes to the child's / parent's registered mobile — so make sure that is functional. For children under 5 or at age 5/15 biometric milestones, see free child biometric update guide.

Q. Can I order a PVC card without Aadhaar number — only with name + DOB?
No. You need either Aadhaar / VID / EID. If you don't have any of these, retrieve your Aadhaar first via the “Retrieve EID/Aadhaar” tool on myaadhaar — needs name, DOB, registered mobile. See Aadhaar download guide for step-by-step retrieval.

Q. The card I received has a typo in my address. What now?
The PVC card prints exactly what's in the UIDAI database. If your existing Aadhaar already has the typo, the PVC will too. Fix it via Aadhaar Update Online (₹50, takes 7-10 days) and then order a fresh PVC card (another ₹50). See Aadhaar correction process or Aadhaar update fees guide.

Q. How is PVC card different from the old “smart card Aadhaar” that some agents sell?
The “smart card” / laminated card sold by private agents at ₹100-₹500 is NOT an official UIDAI product. It's just a fancy lamination of your e-Aadhaar PDF. UIDAI has issued multiple advisories warning against paying anyone other than ₹50 on the official portal. If you've been overcharged by an agent, see Aadhaar fraud recovery guide.

Q. Does the PVC card have a chip like a debit card?
No. There is no electronic chip. The QR code on the front is the only machine-readable element — and it carries digitally-signed offline e-KYC data. The card itself does not store data dynamically.

Q. Can NRIs order a PVC card?
Yes, if they hold a valid Aadhaar (issued post-Oct 2019 to NRIs with valid Indian passport). Delivery is only within India by Speed Post — so the address on Aadhaar must be an Indian one (parents' / sibling's / friend's address) where someone can receive.

Q. What if my Aadhaar address is in Hindi / regional language — will the card be in that language?
The PVC card prints data in English + the language in which Aadhaar was originally enrolled (e.g., English + Tamil, English + Bengali). Both versions appear on the same card.

Q. The card was delivered but the QR code isn't scanning. What now?
Try a different scanner (the official mAadhaar app's QR scanner is the most reliable). If still failing, email [email protected] with photos — UIDAI will print and dispatch a free replacement card.

Q. How long does Aadhaar PVC card delivery take?
Typically 10-15 days from order to delivery in urban areas. For rural, North-East, J&K, and hilly regions, it may take 15-25 days. The breakdown: 1-2 days payment processing, 2-3 days printing at UIDAI's secure facility, 5-7 days Speed Post transit (urban) or 7-14 days (rural). Track using your SRN on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in or via India Post AWB.

Q. Can I pay extra for faster delivery or expedited printing?
No. UIDAI does not offer any premium / Tatkal / expedited service for PVC cards. The ₹50 fee and 10-15 day timeline are the same for everyone. There is no priority queue. The only way to get it faster is to order early.

Q. Is the Aadhaar PVC card accepted as address proof?
Yes. The PVC card is accepted as both photo ID proof and address proof by all government and private institutions — banks, airports, hotels, telecom providers, and government offices. It carries the same legal weight as any other form of Aadhaar. However, for certain transactions, institutions may ask for the e-Aadhaar PDF with a current date for additional verification. See all Aadhaar services and their acceptance.

Q. What should I do if my Aadhaar PVC card is lost or stolen?
Order a reprint at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in (same ₹50 process). A lost PVC card cannot be “blocked” or “deactivated” since it carries no chip or dynamic data — only your demographic details and a signed QR code. If you're concerned about identity misuse, lock your Aadhaar biometrics immediately. See biometric lock guide.

Q. My payment was debited but I didn't get an SRN. Will I get a refund?
Yes. UIDAI automatically refunds failed payments within 5-7 working days. Check your bank statement or UPI app for the refund. If no refund arrives after 7 working days, file a complaint at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in with your payment reference number, or call 1947.

Q. Can I track my PVC card without the SRN?
Yes — send SMS `RPRINT <last 4 digits of Aadhaar>` to 1947 from your registered mobile. You can also log into myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in with your Aadhaar number and OTP; the portal shows your most recent PVC order and its status.
