According to the information given by UIDAI, Virtual Aadhaar is a temporary, revocable 16 digit random number.

It can be generated only by those who have Aadhar card number. At the same time, they can also replace the old one with a new virtual number from time to time. It can also be replaced after one calendar day as decided by UIDAI.
Only one VID is valid for Aadhaar number at a time. At the same time, UIDAI also gives the option to the card holders to create it, recover it, or replace it with a new number in case of forgetting. This can be achieved through UIDAI portal, eAadhaar download, Aadhaar Enrollment Centre, mAadhaar mobile application etc. At the same time, it can be generated through the portal of UIDAI.
VID will be received by SMS
If required, the VID will be sent to the registered mobile through SMS. At the same time, you can also generate it by sending an SMS to the helpline number 1947 of Aadhaar. For this, you will have to SMS GVID and the last four digits of the Aadhaar number with it. Then send it from registered mobile to 1947. Keep in mind that AUA / KUA ie Authentication User Agency cannot issue it.
