Since the UIDAI’s new Aadhaar app, people are wondering what to do with their PVC cards, and should those who don’t already have one get one? The answer is yes, because the new Aadhaar app doesn’t invalidate old cards. Furthermore, in many places where offline verification is only possible, a PVC or physical Aadhaar card will be useful.

Recently, UIDAI launched the full version of its Aadhaar app. Since then, sharing Aadhaar digitally has become much easier for everyone. However, the question arises: with the advent of this app, will people no longer need to obtain a PVC Aadhaar card?
It’s worth noting that initially, paper Aadhaar cards were mailed to homes upon making Aadhaar cards. After this, UIDAI began offering PVC Aadhaar cards on its website. This required the holder to spend 50 rupees. After this, the Aadhaar card, which resembled a plastic debit card, was delivered to their home.
Why is the question of not making the card being raised?
People are wondering whether they should spend 50 rupees to get a plastic Aadhaar card. This is because UIDAI has completely digitized the way Aadhaar is used.
Users can now share their Aadhaar card wherever needed using the new Aadhaar app. Furthermore, Aadhaar verification can also be done through this app. This is why people are wondering whether they should get a PVC Aadhaar card. Furthermore, those who already have a PVC Aadhaar card are wondering if it has any value now.
So, should they get a PVC card?
It’s important to understand that even with the launch of the UIDAI’s new Aadhaar app, printed Aadhaar cards have not become invalid. Whether you have a paper or PVC Aadhaar card, they can be used in places where Aadhaar with an app is not accepted. Furthermore, if you don’t want to rely solely on the mobile app, you can still get a PVC Aadhaar card.
Having a card with an app is beneficial.
Although UIDAI aims to digitize Aadhaar usage, many places still require an Aadhaar card for offline verification. Furthermore, if you’re in a location with weak network connectivity, a physical Aadhaar card can be useful. Therefore, there’s no harm in having a physical Aadhaar card along with the app.
If you already have a PVC card, keep it safe. It’s still a valid document and can be used at many places.
How to get a PVC Aadhaar card?
- To do this, visit the official UIDAI website.
- Click on “Order PVC Card” there.
- Then enter your details.
- After verification via OTP, make a payment of Rs. 50.
- Then your PVC Aadhaar card will be delivered to your address.
