Aadhaar Virtual ID: Aadhar card is issued by the Government of India. This is an identity card for the citizens of the country. It is very important to have Aadhar card because it is demanded everywhere as an ID proof. UIDAI, the Aadhaar card issuing agency, also issues a 16-digit temporary code, which is used at the time of verification. As a virtual ID, the 16 digit digit is linked to the Aadhaar number. That means, roughly, the 16 numbers of the Virtual ID are an alternative to the 12 numbers of your Aadhaar.
Virtual ID can be generated multiple times
Virtual ID number is not fixed. It is temporary because you can generate it online as many times as you want. Along with the security of your Aadhar card, it also reduces the risk of fraud with it.
Virtual ID is generally used for e-KYC verification. Many times for this we fill the Aadhaar number on the online portal, then it becomes easy for the agency to access all the information related to your Aadhaar, but when you fill the virtual ID, then your purpose of providing ID proof is also fulfilled. And through this no one can access your Aadhaar related information.
Aadhaar remains secure with virtual ID
Many times there have been alleged reports of leakage of information related to Aadhaar, hence, to solve this problem of the people, UIDAI has come up with the concept of Virtual ID. Its biggest feature is that VID can definitely be generated from Aadhaar number, but you cannot find out Aadhaar number from VID. Another specialty of VID is that it has no expiry date. That means it remains valid until you generate a new VID.
Very easy to generate virtual ID
Generating a virtual ID is also very easy. For this you either go to the official site of UIDAI or use mAadhaar App. Go to UIDAI site, select the option of Aadhar Services and click on Virtual ID (VID) Generator. Apart from this, if you want, you can directly myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/genericGenerateOrRetriveVID You can generate your 12 digit virtual ID by visiting the link.
