PVC Aadhaar Card 2025: The Aadhaar card, a 12-digit unique identity number used as confirmation of identity and address, has become a must-have identity of proof in recent years. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) recommends that users revalidate their Aadhaar cards every ten years. Previously, Aadhaar cards were produced on paper, which could be difficult to preserve in excellent shape even after lamination. To address this, UIDAI developed the PVC Aadhaar card, which is intended to last a lifetime and is simple to maintain. The most appealing feature is that it fits nicely in your wallet and appears to be like an ATM card, as the card is made of synthetic plastic and is 86 mm x 54 mm. It is sturdy and includes security features such as holograms, guilloché patterns, and QR codes. How to apply for a PVC Aadhaar Card: Know the step-by-step process i.
