Aadhaar PVC card order online is the simplest way to get a durable, wallet-sized Aadhaar card delivered to your home. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) prints it on high-quality PVC with security features and sends it by Speed Post. In January 2026, UIDAI revised the fee to ₹75 (including GST and delivery). This guide shows the exact steps, who can order, how to track the card and what to do if payment fails.

What Is an Aadhaar PVC Card?

The Aadhaar PVC card is a plastic card the size of an ATM card. It contains your photo, name, date of birth, gender, address, Aadhaar number and a secure QR code that can be verified offline. It is far more durable than the paper letter or a printed e-Aadhaar, and it fits easily in your wallet.

All forms of Aadhaar are equally valid: the original letter, the downloaded e-Aadhaar, mAadhaar and the PVC card. The PVC card is simply the most convenient to carry.

Aadhaar PVC Card Order Online: Fee and Delivery

Item	Details
Fee	₹75 (including GST and Speed Post charges)
Payment modes	UPI, debit card, credit card, net banking
Dispatch	Usually within about 5 working days
Delivery	Speed Post to the address in Aadhaar
Tracking	SRN status on myAadhaar and India Post tracking

The card is always delivered to the address recorded in Aadhaar. If you have moved, update your Aadhaar address online first and then place the Aadhaar PVC card order online.

Who Can Order?

Anyone with a valid Aadhaar number can order a PVC card, including for family members. You can order:

• With a registered mobile number: OTP goes to the mobile linked with Aadhaar, and the details preview is shown before payment.
• Without a registered mobile number: OTP goes to any mobile number you enter, but the preview of details is not shown before payment.

Step-by-Step Process

Follow these steps on the official myAadhaar portal.

Step 1: Open the Order Page

Go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in or the UIDAI website and choose Order Aadhaar PVC Card.

Step 2: Enter Aadhaar Details

Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number (or 16-digit Virtual ID, or 28-digit Enrolment ID) and the captcha.

Step 3: Verify OTP

If your mobile is registered, click Send OTP and enter it. If it is not registered, tick the option for a non-registered mobile, enter any mobile number and verify the OTP sent to it.

Step 4: Preview and Confirm

With a registered mobile, you will see a preview of your Aadhaar details. Check that the name, photo and address are correct. Accept the terms.

Step 5: Pay ₹75

Click Make Payment and pay through UPI, card or net banking. After successful payment, a digitally signed receipt with a Service Request Number (SRN) is generated. Download and save it.

Step 6: Track Your Order

Use Check Aadhaar PVC Card Status on myAadhaar with your SRN. Once the card is handed to India Post, you will receive an AWB (consignment) number by SMS that you can track on the India Post website.

That is the complete Aadhaar PVC card order online process.

Payment Failed but Money Deducted?

Sometimes the bank debits money but the order does not show success. In such cases:

• Wait for a few hours; the status often updates automatically.
• Check the SRN status on myAadhaar.
• If the order fails, the amount is usually refunded to the source account within a few working days.
• Contact UIDAI through the helpline 1947 or the grievance portal if there is no refund.

Common Problems and Solutions

Problem	Solution
OTP not received	Use the non-registered mobile option or link your mobile at an Aadhaar centre
Wrong address on card	Update address first, then reorder
Card returned to sender	Address incomplete; update and reorder
Old photo on card	Update photo at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra
Delivery delayed	Track AWB number with India Post

Aadhaar PVC Card vs e-Aadhaar

Feature	PVC card	e-Aadhaar
Cost	₹75	Free
Format	Physical plastic card	Password-protected PDF
Delivery	Speed Post	Instant download
Durability	Very high	Depends on printout

If you need Aadhaar immediately, download the e-Aadhaar for free while you wait for the PVC card to arrive.

Beware of Fake PVC Cards

Many shops print “PVC Aadhaar” on plastic from the downloaded PDF. UIDAI has said that such privately printed cards may not have the security features and are not recommended. Always use the official Aadhaar PVC card order online service.

Tips Before Ordering

• Make sure your Aadhaar address is complete with house name, post office and PIN code.
• Update your photo if it is very old.
• Save the SRN receipt for tracking and refunds.
• Order for family members using their Aadhaar numbers and your mobile for OTP.

Aadhaar PVC Card Order Online for Family Members

You can place an Aadhaar PVC card order online for your parents, spouse or children using one mobile number. For each person:

1. Enter their Aadhaar number on the order page.
2. Choose the non-registered mobile option if their Aadhaar is not linked to your phone.
3. Verify the OTP on your number and pay ₹75.
4. Save each SRN separately with the person’s name.

Each card is sent to the address in that person’s Aadhaar, so check addresses before ordering. Children’s cards should have updated biometrics; if your child has crossed the age of five or fifteen, a mandatory biometric update may be due.

Security Features of the PVC Card

The official card includes features that make it difficult to copy:

• Secure QR code with digitally signed details
• Micro text and guilloche patterns
• Issue date and print date
• High-quality print on durable PVC

Officials can scan the QR code using UIDAI’s verification app to confirm the details. This is the main reason to rely on the official Aadhaar PVC card order online service instead of local printers.

Aadhaar PVC Card Order Online Through mAadhaar App

You can also order through the official mAadhaar app:

1. Install mAadhaar from the Play Store or App Store.
2. Register your profile with the Aadhaar-linked mobile.
3. Open Order Aadhaar PVC Card from the services menu.
4. Verify OTP and pay ₹75.
5. Track the SRN inside the app.

The steps are similar to the website, and the app is convenient for mobile users.

What Happens After Ordering?

Stage	What it means
Order placed	Payment received, SRN generated
Under process	Card is being printed
Dispatched	Card handed to India Post
Delivered	Card reached your address
Returned	Delivery failed; address issue

Once you see “Dispatched”, you will receive an SMS with the Speed Post consignment number. Track it on the India Post website.

Keep Your Aadhaar Updated

The PVC card prints whatever is in your Aadhaar record. Before your Aadhaar PVC card order online, review:

• Address: Update online if you have moved.
• Photo: Old photos can only be updated at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
• Mobile number: Link your mobile at an Aadhaar centre for OTP-based services.
• Bank link: Check your Aadhaar bank account link status for DBT benefits.

Also make sure your PAN is linked with Aadhaar, since a mismatch can affect banking and tax services.

Lost Your Aadhaar Card?

If you have lost your Aadhaar card and don’t remember the number, use the Retrieve EID/UID service on myAadhaar to get the number on your registered mobile or email. After that, download the e-Aadhaar and place an Aadhaar PVC card order online for a durable replacement.
