How to Get Duplicate Aadhaar Card Online without Mobile/Enrolment Number

Currently the worlds largest biometric ID system, the Aadhar card system is a 12-digit unique code that is assigned to Indian residents. It plays a significant role in availing many benefits including government schemes. Its reach is likely to spread far and wide in the near future.

The Aadhaar card includes an individuals vital information like name, gender, contact number, address as well as date of birth. Moreover, it also contains biometric data such as the fingerprint and iris scan. Aadhaar can be used as an ID or even as an address proof but it is also mandatory to avail certain benefits and subsidies from the government for ones own benefit.
