VID: All work related to Aadhar card will be done without showing Aadhar, just send SMS to this number..

Aadhaar Card: In today's era, the Aadhaar card has become the most important document of our identity. From admission to school to opening a bank account, from getting a mobile SIM to taking advantage of government schemes, an Aadhaar number is required everywhere. But seeing the increasing cases of fraud with Aadhaar, many people are now hesitant to share it.

If you are also worried about your privacy and want to avoid giving your Aadhaar number everywhere, then Virtual ID (VID) can be the safest option for you. It is a special 16-digit ID, which can be used instead of an Aadhaar number. It is completely safe and no one can know your Aadhaar number from it.

What is a Virtual Aadhaar ID?

Virtual ID (VID) is a 16-digit unique number, which can be generated from the website of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). This ID can be used for e-KYC, opening a bank account, applying for government services, buying an insurance policy, applying for a passport, and many other important tasks.

Generate VID from the UIDAI website.

You can generate a virtual ID online from the UIDAI website:

First of all, go to [UIDAI's official website] (https://uidai.gov.in/).
Here choose the language as per your convenience from Hindi or English.
Now click on the Virtual ID (VID) Generator option in the Aadhaar Services section.
Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and captcha code.
Now OTP will come on the registered mobile number, enter it.
After this, your virtual ID will appear on the screen and it will also be sent to your mobile number via SMS.

SMS is also an option

If you do not have an internet facility, then you can also generate a virtual ID through SMS. Type a message from your registered mobile number:
