New Delhi: Many government and private initiatives and facilities require the 14-digit Aadhaar Card number or Unique Identification number given by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Aadhaar has biometric credentials like fingerprints and iris of the person, making it a one-of-a-kind document, in addition to the normal facts on an identity card like name, date of birth, gender, and address.
One of the many benefits of Aadhaar is that, unlike any other document, you do not need to keep a physical copy with you at all times. Even if you misplace or lose it, you can get an e-Aadhaar by validating your identity on the UIDAI website.
