Aadhaar Card is one of the most important identification documents. It can be used everywhere, from Airports to Cinema halls, for verifying your name, address, and other details. That said, it’s essential to keep it safe and in good condition. However, if for some reason your physical Aadhaar Card isn’t in its best shape, you can replace it with a new one.

Step 3: Enter your Aadhaar number and log in using the OTP sent on your registered mobile number. Make sure your mobile number is linked with UIDAI or else you won’t receive the OTP.
Step 4: Once you are logged in and on the home screen of the app, look for the “Order PVC Aadhaar Card” option. If you don’t find it on the home screen, head to the “Services” or “Update Aadhaar” section and look for it. Tap on it.
Step 5: Once tap on the Order PVC Aadhaar option, you will be required to review all your details like name and address. If there are any changes, you can update the details right away, however, not all details can be updated immediately. But if there are only minor changes, you can do them and proceed further.
Step 6: You should now see a preview of your Aadhaar card information. After proceeding further, you should be prompted to make the payment. Getting a PVC card isn’t free, it requires a fee of Rs 50. That said, choose the payment method – UPI, Debit card, and Credit Card.
Step 7: Continue with the payment. Once the payment status is successful, you will get a confirmation message and a Service Request Number (SRN). You can use SRN to track the status of your application.
The PVC Aadhaar card should be delivered to your place in a week or two.
That’s how you can order a PVC Aadhaar Card from the mAadhaar app on Android and iOS. Carrying a PVC Aadhaar Card is better as it’s more durable than carrying a laminated Aadhaar document. Aadhaar PVC doesn’t require lamination as it’s sturdy.
