Since some of us have already laminated the card,is there any recourse to get a fresh one reissued?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the meaning of local and non local aadhar. If we change states and try to take new phoen connection or go for police verification and show the aadhar card as address proof with the current address also they are saying its non local aadhar. What is the actual use of aadhar? Even if we change to current address and show the original printed aadhar they are not accepting
ReplyDeleteSince some of us have already laminated the card before 3-4 years,is there any recourse to get a fresh one reissued?
