Chandigarh, January 8, 2025 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): In today’s time, the Aadhaar card has become a very important document. Whether it’s for banking, land registration, or applying for admission or travel, Aadhaar is essential. It is also necessary to avail government schemes. Issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the main drawback of the Aadhaar card was that it wasn’t pocket-friendly. However, this is no longer a problem, as you can now receive your Aadhaar in the form of a PVC card.
PVC Aadhaar Card is not only durable but also secure: Until now, Aadhaar cards were issued in paper format, which often became difficult to maintain even after lamination. However, the PVC Aadhaar card is easy to preserve for a lifetime. The best part is that you can keep it in your wallet as it resembles an ATM card. Made from synthetic plastic, this card measures 86 MM X 54 MM. In addition to being durable and strong, it also includes security features such as a hologram and QR code.
Here’s how you can order the PVC card:
You can order the PVC Aadhaar card from the comfort of your home. To do so, first, visit the UIDAI website at https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/.
