Plastic Aadhaar card print online: a card that fits your wallet

If you searched for a plastic Aadhaar card, here is what this is: your Aadhaar printed on a PVC card the size of a debit card. It is stiffer than paper, it will not crease in your pocket, and it wipes clean. You upload your Aadhaar as a PDF or as photos of the front and back, and we print it in full colour, pack it carefully and send it to you.

Who asks for a plastic Aadhaar

A plastic card suits people who travel often, parents who want a card for each child and anyone whose paper copy has worn out. It is also a tidy way to keep your Aadhaar with your other cards in one wallet slot. If you only show your Aadhaar occasionally, the PDF on your phone may be enough. A plastic card helps when you want a physical copy in your hand.

Paper, laminated or plastic

These three get confused, so here is how they differ.

• Paper is the cheapest, but it creases and tears at the folds.
• A laminated copy is a paper printout sealed in plastic at a local shop. It is stiffer, but the edges can lift, and the size and corners vary from shop to shop.
• A PVC card is cut to exactly 85.6 by 54 mm with rounded corners, so it slides into a card slot and a wallet pocket.

The UIDAI PVC card is a different thing again. It is issued by UIDAI and ordered on the UIDAI website. The card on this page is a private print of your own Aadhaar, not an official card.

What you get

• One card for each unit you order, printed on both sides from your files.
• A card of 85.6 by 54 mm with rounded corners.
• A smooth finish that is easy to wipe clean.
• A price of ₹50 a card.

Which Aadhaar file should you use

The file you choose decides how sharp the card looks.

• The e-Aadhaar PDF is the best choice. Small text and the QR code stay crisp.
• A scan of your Aadhaar letter is good if the scan is flat and bright.
• A photo of the letter or card works if it is taken straight on, in daylight, with all four corners visible.
• A screenshot from a phone is the weakest choice. It is small and soft, and it may include buttons from the screen.

Download your e-Aadhaar from the myAadhaar portal. You need your Aadhaar number or Virtual ID and an OTP on your registered mobile. The PDF is locked with a password, which is the first four letters of your name in capitals and your year of birth. Our guide on downloading your e-Aadhaar PDF shows each step.

How to order

• Pick the number of cards.
• Upload your PDF, or the front and back images. JPG, PNG and PDF all work, up to 50 MB each.
• If the PDF has a password, enter it after the upload finishes.
• Place the order.

What to check before you upload

Open your file and zoom in. The photo, name, date of birth, gender, number and QR code should all be easy to read. A blurry file prints blurry, and a file with a corner cut off prints with a corner cut off. A short guide on why uploaded files print blurry explains how to avoid it.

What happens after you order

After you pay, we look over your file for orientation and cut-off edges, then print the card, pack it flat and send it. It reaches you 5 to 8 days after it is made. If anything about the file is unclear, we may call before printing.

Price and delivery

A plastic Aadhaar card costs ₹50. It is made within a day and reaches you 5 to 8 days later. The delivery charge depends on where you live, and it is waived once your order passes ₹999.

Keep the original safe

A printed card is a convenience. Keep your original Aadhaar document and your e-Aadhaar PDF safe, and share your number only when you must. Whether another organisation accepts a private copy is its decision, so always keep the original.

Printing for more than one person

Upload a separate file for every person and raise the quantity. If you are ordering for several relatives, name the files so you know which is which when the cards arrive. You can also see the main PVC Aadhaar card print online page, or every Aadhaar PVC card option.

Plastic Aadhaar card questions

Is a plastic Aadhaar card the same as the UIDAI PVC card?

No. The UIDAI card is issued by UIDAI. This is a private print of your own Aadhaar made on PVC.

Can I use my Aadhaar photo from a phone?

Yes, if the photo is sharp, flat and shows all four corners. A PDF gives the best result.

Does the card come with a holder?

No. You receive the printed card only.

Will the card show my full number?

It shows what your file shows. For a masked card, upload the masked e-Aadhaar.

Can I order two copies?

Yes. Set the quantity to 2.

Does the card have a chip?

No. It is a printed card with no chip.

How long does delivery take?

A plastic Aadhaar card is made in a day and delivered in 5 to 8 days.

Keep your e-Aadhaar PDF saved. If you want another plastic Aadhaar card print online later, for a spare or for a family member, the same file works again, and the order takes only a few minutes. A plastic Aadhaar card print online is only as sharp as the file you send, so spend a minute choosing the best one.
