Aadhaar is a crucial identity document in India, and when you download an e-Aadhaar PDF, it is password-protected for security. Understanding the Aadhaar password format and how to reset it can help users access their documents smoothly.
The e-Aadhaar password is automatically generated based on your personal details. The format is simple:
Your e-Aadhaar password consists of the first four letters of your name (in uppercase) followed by your birth year. For example:
If your name is Rahul Kumar and your birth year is 1995, then your Aadhaar password will be RAHU1995.
Since the e-Aadhaar is password-protected, you need to enter the password every time. However, you can save an unlocked version for easy access.
Once you enter your Aadhaar password and open the PDF, you can save it without the password using software like Adobe Acrobat.
Online PDF unlocking tools can help you remove the password from your e-Aadhaar file permanently.
If you forget your Aadhaar password, resetting it is easy.
Go to the official UIDAI website (https://uidai.gov.in) and navigate to the e-Aadhaar Download section.
Provide your Aadhaar number, name, and registered phone number.
You will receive an OTP on your registered mobile number. Enter the OTP and download the e-Aadhaar.
Your new password will be created based on the e-Aadhaar format mentioned above.
If you are facing issues with your Aadhaar password, try these solutions.
