However, you need not worry, as the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has recently made important changes in the Aadhaar downloading process, making it easier for cardholders to get a reprint of the document.
So, if you have lost your Aahdaar Card and don’t have access to the Aadhaar registered mobile number, you can still get a copy by going through the following steps:
1. Visit the official website of UIDAI
2. Go to the 'My Aadhaar' section
3. Click on the 'Order Aadhaar PVC Card' option
4. Enter your 12 digit Aadhaar number
5. You can also use the 16 digits Virtual Identification Number (VID) instead of Aadhaar number
6: Enter the security or captcha-code
7: Click on the 'My mobile number is not registered' option
8: Enter an alternate mobile number or a number unregistered with your Aadhaar
9: Click on the 'Send OTP' button
10: Enter the OTP that will arrive on your alternate number
11: Click on the 'Terms and Conditions checkbox and select the 'Submit' button
12: On the next page, you will get a preview of the Aadhaar letter
13: After confirming the details, click on the 'Make Payment' option and pay for the service online.
