The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the organisation that is the backbone behind everything related to Aadhaar, keeps coming up with all new facilities to ease the problems of users who hold Aadhaar cards. Recently, in the face of the pandemic, the UIDAI has announced that Aadhaar card holders can download Aadhaar online any time from anywhere. For this, the UIDAI has issued an Aadhaar direct link through which users can download their 12-digit unique ID, that has become an essential document in various paths of life. The Aadhaar card can be downloaded using the direct Aadhaar link eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ as per the user’s convenience.

In a tweet dated June 28, 2021, the UIDAI said, “You can choose to download ‘Regular Aadhaar’ that displays the complete Aadhaar number or ‘Masked Aadhaar’ which shows only the last four digits.”

It further shared a video tutorial to download the Aadhaar card via direct link. “Download your Aadhaar from https://t.co/C190bVXBCk anytime anywhere.
