VID, Masked Aadhaar & Security Best Practices
myAadhaar includes privacy features to help you limit data exposure in daily use.
Generate Virtual ID (VID)
VID is a revocable 16-digit number mapped to your Aadhaar. Share VID for KYC wherever supported to keep UID private.
Generate VID →Use Masked eAadhaar
Download the masked PDF to show only last four digits of your Aadhaar. Accepted in most cases unless full UID is required.
Lock/Unlock Aadhaar
Lock Aadhaar when not needed; unlock temporarily to authenticate. Reduces risk of misuse.
Manage Lock →- Never share OTP or the eAadhaar PDF password with anyone.
- Validate the digital signature in your PDF viewer.
- Access only from official links provided above.
Check Status & Retrieve UID/EID
Lost your Aadhaar or Enrolment ID? Need to monitor an update or PVC request? Use these tools.
Track Status
Use EID/SRN to track enrolment, update and PVC card requests on your dashboard.
Check Status →Retrieve UID/EID
Recover your Aadhaar number or Enrolment ID via OTP verification on registered mobile.
Retrieve →Bank Seeding Status
DBT benefits rely on linking your bank account with Aadhaar. Check and update seeding to avoid delays.
Check Mapper
Verify if your Aadhaar is linked to your bank account through the official mapper tool.
Check →Update Linking
Visit your bank branch/app/ATM depending on facilities available. Carry Aadhaar and your passbook/ID for quick processing.
