The UIDAI or Unique Identification Authority of India offers a variety of online services to Aadhaar holders. The UIDAI is the issuer of 12-digit personal identification number under the Aadhaar programme, and also the issuer of Aadhaar cards. Through its “self-service portal”, uidai.gov.in, the UIDAI enables users to apply for a change in the address fed into their Aadhaar profile and lock/unlock the biometrics information associated with it, among other facilities. The Authority also provides a paid “Aadhaar reprint” service which enables Aadhaar holders to apply for the issuance and delivery of a physical copy of Aadhaar card on their registered address, according to its website. This facility is available on a pilot basis, the UIDAI mentions on its portal.
