Aadhaar reissue means applying for a duplicate/reprint of your Aadhaar card in case it is lost, damaged, or if you want a new updated copy in PVC format.

You can apply for Aadhaar reissue through the UIDAI website by providing your Aadhaar number (UID) or Virtual ID (VID) and paying the reprint fee. You can also visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra for assistance.

Aadhaar Reprint: This is the process of getting a new print of your Aadhaar card on regular paper. The original e-Aadhaar is also a valid form of this. Aadhaar Reissue (or Order PVC Aadhaar Card): This is the official service provided by the UIDAI to get a new, durable, and secure PVC card. It is a more robust and convenient form of your Aadhaar card. Aadhaar Reissue (as a broader term): This term is often used by people to mean any process of obtaining a new physical copy of their Aadhaar after losing the original.

The simplest and most reliable way to get a new Aadhaar card is by ordering an Aadhaar PVC Card from the official UIDAI website. You can also download a copy of your e-Aadhaar from the website if you have your Aadhaar number or Enrollment ID (EID). The PVC card is more durable and has advanced security features.

No additional documents are needed if you only want a duplicate/reprint. But if you need updates (like name, date of birth, or address correction), you’ll need to provide valid proof documents.

After applying, the reissued Aadhaar card is usually delivered to your registered address within 5–10 working days by speed post.
