The e-Aadhaar you download from UIDAI is password-protected, and the password follows a format set by UIDAI using details from your own record; check UIDAI's official website for the exact format. Some print shops, office systems and upload forms struggle with protected PDFs. Unlock your own e-Aadhaar here to print or attach it easily. Since this is sensitive identity data, everything happens on your device and nothing is uploaded.
Tips
- Only unlock your own Aadhaar or one you are authorized to handle.
- Consider the masked Aadhaar option on UIDAI when you don't need the full number.
- Delete unlocked copies from shared computers after printing.
