About Aadhaar PDF password
The e-Aadhaar PDF you download from UIDAI is locked with a password. It is made of the first four letters of your name in CAPITAL letters, as printed on the Aadhaar, followed by your year of birth in YYYY form.
Type your name and year of birth above and the password is filled in for you. Then press Unlock PDF to save a copy that opens without the password, which is handy for printing or for forms that reject locked files. Everything runs in your browser, so your Aadhaar and details are never uploaded.
How to use it
- Choose your e-Aadhaar PDF.
- Type your name exactly as on the Aadhaar, and your year of birth.
- Check the password that appears, then press Unlock PDF.
- Download the unlocked copy.
