The Aadhaar card acts as a vital means of identification and proof of residence. Once you complete the enrollment procedure, you can download and print your e-Aadhaar from the official UIDAI website.

To acquire this document, visit the UIDAI portal, log in with your Aadhaar number, and use an OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
