You will soon be able to quote your Aadhaar virtual ID or VID just as you use your Aadhaar card details with service providers like banks, telecom companies etc. This was said by UIDAI or Unique Identification Authority of India, the issuer of the 12-digit Aadhaar card number as well as that of the Aadhaar card, on microblogging site Twitter. UIDAI recently launched the Aadhaar virtual ID - also known as VID. Aadhaar Virtual ID is a 16-digit temporary ID, generated through the UIDAI portal - uidai.gov.in - that can be quoted as an alternative to providing the Aadhaar card number or Unique Identity Number (UID). An Aadhaar card holder using an Aadhaar VID will not be required to share his or her Aadhaar card number at the time of authentication. Currently, Aadhaar card holders can generate the virtual ID through the UIDAI website.
