If your Aadhaar card is lost or damaged, you can easily get a duplicate Aadhaar card. You can apply for it online through the UIDAI website, by calling their helpline, or by visiting an Aadhaar enrollment center. Just follow the steps given and get your duplicate Aadhaar card.

Whether your original card is lost or unusable, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) provides a convenient way to get a duplicate Aadhaar card. In this guide, we will explain the step-by-step process to get a duplicate Aadhaar card both online and offline.

Visit the Aadhaar Center: You can also get a duplicate copy of your Aadhaar by visiting an Aadhaar enrollment center.

Visit any Aadhaar enrolment/update center and provide your details, including name, gender, district or PIN code, and other details. After this, your biometric identification (fingerprint or iris scan) will be done. When matched, the operator will print your e-Aadhaar letter. However, a nominal fee of Rs 30 may be charged for this.

Call UIDAI helpline 1947: Another option is to call 1947. Call this number and talk to the executive while providing your demographic details. If the details match, the executive will share your EID with you. Call 1947 again and use the IVRS system. After this, select the request status option, and provide EID, date of birth (DOB), and PIN code. If the details match, your Aadhaar number will be given to you.

This service is free.
