The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched a new service through which you can get your Aadhaar card reprinted and get the physical copy in case you have lost your Aadhaar card. In this article, I will tell you how to get the reprint Aadhaar Card from the UIDAI website by yourself.

This service is a blessing for the people who have lost their Aadhaar card accidentally. You have to pay a nominal fee of Rs. 50 to get the reprint Aadhaar card delivered to your address. The people who have lost their Aadhaar card have no option but to use the e-Aadhaar card till now.

This service is launched as of now on a pilot basis. Based on the user experience and feedback, further changes and development will be done. UIDAI has recently launched masked Aadhaar card to protect user privacy, and now this step for providing a new copy of Aadhaar card is commendable.
