Bhubaneswar: Aadhaar card is now one of the most important documents used in every official work. However, most people were finding it hard to carry the crucial document with them.

In a bid to resolve such issues, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced the Aadhaar in the form of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) card.

The new facility is now helping scores of people across the country as they can now carry Aadhaar PVC Card in their wallet just like ATM debit or credit cards.

As Aadhaar PVC card is completely weather-proof, it can resolve several problems which were faced by people in the past.

The UIDAI allows residents of India to get their Aadhaar letter reprint on PVC card by paying nominal charges of Rs 50, which includes all taxes and delivery (via Speed Post) fees.

To order your Aadhaar PVC card online, all you need is your Aadhaar number. If you don’t have that, you can use your 28 digit Enrolment ID (EID) or 16 digit Virtual ID (VID) to order it.

In a tweet, UIDAI said, " Your identity is verifiable instantly offline, by scanning the QR code on your new Aadhaar PVC card."

Here are the steps to order Aadhar PVC Card:

1. Click the official UIDAI website and under 'My Aadhaar section', click on the 'Order Aadhaar PVC Card' option.

2. Enter Aadhaar Number or Virtual Identification Number or EID to order Aadhaar card.
