To get a Virtual ID (VID) for your Aadhaar card, you can follow these steps:
- Visit the UIDAI website: Go to the official UIDAI website, uidai.gov.in, and click on the “Virtual ID (VID) Generator” link.
- Enter your Aadhaar number: Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and the security code displayed on the screen.
- Receive an OTP: The UIDAI will send a One-Time Password (OTP) to your registered mobile number.
- Enter the OTP: Enter the OTP in the designated field on the UIDAI website and click “Submit.”
- Generate your VID: Once you have successfully entered the OTP, you can generate your Virtual ID by clicking on the “Generate VID” button.
- Use your VID: You can now use your Virtual ID instead of your Aadhaar number for various authentication purposes.
Note that you can generate a new Virtual ID for your Aadhaar card any time you wish. By using a Virtual ID, you can help protect your Aadhaar number from being disclosed unnecessarily.
