UIDAI has launched the new Order Aadhaar PVC Card Service w.e.f. from 25 September. The Aadhaar PVC card is a multi security Aadhar card with security features.

It consists of the card holders details, a digitally signed QR code and a hologram for authencity, micro text, ghost image, issue date and print date and Guilloche pattern. This card can be used as a ID Card.

Card holders can apply for the PVC Aadhaar Card from https://residentpvc.uidai.gov.in/order-pvcreprint, which is the official UIDAI web portal. The cost of the card is Rs 50, which is highly subsidized. Once ordered and paid for, the card will be delivered to the registered address at no additional cost, through Speed Post.
