Check out the Virtual ID (VID) \u2013 Unique Identification Authority of India \u2013 UIDAI, How to generate it.<\/h2>\n

The UIDAI \u2013 Unique Identification Authority of India has introduced a new feature to ensure increased data security. This new feature of security is named Aadhaar Virtual ID (VID), which can be used for Aadhaar authentication. This new feature of UIDAI \u2013 Unique Identification Authority of India will enable authentication of transactions by furnishing authorized agencies just the needed data, like name, photograph, and address, and for e-KYC, as an alternative to the Aadhaar number.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAadhaar Virtual ID is a 16-digit temporary code that provides the UIDAI virtual ID instead of your Aadhaar number. This can be used in many agencies, and you can protect your Aadhaar details from being misused or accessed by someone. You can use this Aadhaar virtual ID to get your e-KYC done in both government and private organizations. UIDAI has implemented this new feature on June 1st, 2018. The main reason behind the launch of Virtual ID is to address the Aadhaar data breach issue. By using this Virtual ID, it is almost impossible for anyone to track your Aadhaar number. You can also use this Virtual ID to download the Aadhaar card from UIDAI\u2019s online portal.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Aadhaar Virtual ID?<\/h2>\n

Aadhaar Virtual ID is an alternative temporary code to the Aadhaar number. This alternative temporary code consists of 16 numerals, which can be generated against an Aadhaar number. However, the Aadhaar virtual ID cannot be used to retrieve or get back the original Aadhaar card, as only one virtual ID code will be generated against an Aadhaar number at a time. It can be generated again and again as needed by the user. This temporary code is valid for only one day and gets changed with the change in time or date, i.e., at 00:00 am.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Generate Aadhaar Virtual ID Online?<\/h2>\n

Any individual can generate a virtual ID using their Aadhaar number<\/a><\/strong>. By visiting the UIDAI\u2019s official site, you can generate the virtual ID online. In the future, there is a high possibility of developing the Virtual ID in the Aadhaar app. Still, it is worth mentioning that you should have registered your mobile number with UIDAI to use this service, as the virtual ID code will only be sent to your registered mobile number. If you have not registered your mobile number with UIDAI, then the first thing you have to do is link your mobile number with Aadhaar. The process for retrieving a virtual ID and the process of Virtual ID generation are the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Follow the steps below to generate the Aadhaar virtual ID:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Visit UIDAI\u2019s official website at <\/span>http:\/\/uidai.gov.in\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\nStep 2:<\/strong> Then, click on the \u201cVirtual ID (VID) Generator\u201d from the Aadhaar Services tab<\/span>
\nStep 3:<\/strong> After clicking, it will take you to a new VID Generation page<\/span>
\nStep 4:<\/strong> On this page, enter your 12-digit Aadhaar Number and the security code<\/span>
\nStep 5:<\/strong> After entering the code, click on the \u201cSend OTP\u201d button on the page<\/span>
\nStep 6:<\/strong> An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number with UIDAI<\/span>
\nStep 7:<\/strong> Now, enter the OTP and click the option to either \u201cRetrieve VID\u201d or \u201cGenerate VID.\u201d<\/span>
\nStep 8:<\/strong> Then click on the \u201cSubmit\u201d button<\/span>
\nStep 9:<\/strong> You will receive a confirmation message through SMS on the registered number with the 16-digit Virtual ID, which means your Virtual ID Number has been successfully generated and sent to your registered mobile number.\u201d<\/span>
\nStep 10:<\/strong> You can also generate virtual IDs for other Aadhaar numbers of your family<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Do We Need Aadhar Virtual ID?<\/h2>\n

People have been worried about the safety of their Aadhaar number and its details, and there have been several possibilities or cases where claims of Aadhaar data leakage have been filed officially. Now, UIDAI has addressed the worries and concerns of people and has come up with a solution, and that is the introduction of virtual IDs. In these cases, whenever the users provide their virtual IDs as an alternative to Aadhaar, the agencies or organizations cannot retrieve the applicant\u2019s Aadhaar number, and the authentication process is carried out as usual. Therefore, the Aadhaar details of the applicant are not accessed by the organizations or agencies in any manner; in this way, your Aadhaar number and other information will be safe from being hacked.<\/span>
\nAn Aadhaar holder who generates the virtual ID can use it to authenticate with any agency or service. Once the authentication process is complete, the details with the agency, even if saved, are rendered useless as the virtual ID is an alternative temporary code that is valid only for one day. The user can regenerate the Virtual ID again for different purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Features of the Aadhar Virtual ID<\/b><\/h3>\n

UIDAI has made various upgrades for Virtual ID. Some of the salient features are below:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The virtual ID is a temporary 16-digit code that can be used as an alternative to Aadhaar for authentication purposes.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Only one virtual ID is generated at a time. Whenever a new Virtual ID is issued, the old Virtual ID is useless.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Agencies and organizations, both private and government, have updated their system to include VIDs from 1st June 2018<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Aadhaar number of the applicant cannot be recovered using a virtual ID<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Virtual ID provides limited KYC access to agencies<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. It is not compulsory to generate and deliver Virtual IDs; it all depends on the person\u2019s decision, and they can provide their Aadhaar number instead of the Virtual ID<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Agencies or organizations cannot force the user or applicants to furnish their Aadhaar number for e-KYC or any verification process<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Agencies or organizations have to take the applicant\u2019s consent for authentication with their Virtual ID<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. No agency is empowered to save the applicant\u2019s virtual ID or any other Aadhaar details that have been taken for the authentication process.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. The validity of a virtual ID is only till the user generates a new one<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. The last generated Virtual ID is sent to the registered mobile number whenever you retrieve your Aadhaar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
