The card includes biometric credentials such as the person's fingerprints and iris, as well as standard identity document information such as name, date of birth, gender, and address.
New Delhi: Every Indian citizen needs an Aadhaar card as a form of identity. It is one of, if not the, most crucial pieces of identification an Indian can have. Keeping this in mind, losing your Aadhaar card may result in complications at different locations where identity verification is required. The Aadhaar card is a one-of-a-kind document issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
The card includes biometric credentials such as the person's fingerprints and iris, as well as standard identity document information such as name, date of birth, gender, and address. Given its importance, if you lose this identity card, you must try to re-issue it as quickly as possible.
To address the requirement to re-issue an Aadhaar card if it is misplaced, the government's UIDAI has created an alternative to get the verifiable 12-digit identification number online if you cannot recall it. All of the work can be completed in a couple of minutes using the UIDAI's official portal.
