The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) allows Aadhaar cardholders to order and receive an Aadhaar PVC card. The Aadhaar card details are printed on a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) card, which is considered equivalent to the original.
According to the UIDAI website, Aadhaar holders will have to pay ₹50 while ordering an Aadhaar PVC. The security features of the card, according to UIDAI, include; a secure QR code, hologram, micro text, ghost image, embossed Aadhaar logo, and issue and print date.

Individuals can raise a request for an Aadhaar PVC using their Aadhaar-registered mobile number. However, they may choose to apply from a non-registered mobile number by clicking on the ‘mobile number is not registered’ option on the UIDAI dashboard.
UIDAI launched a new AI-powered chatbot called Aadhaar Mitra. It allows individuals to check their PVC card status online.
