In India, the Aadhaar Card is a required form of identification. Without it, no significant job in the country can be accomplished. In such a circumstance, it is critical that you keep up to date on all Aadhar card-related information. In the meantime, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which creates the Aadhar card, has halted a critical service. In fact, the long-length Aadhar card is no longer reprinted using the old-style (Aadhaar Card Reprint service discontinues).
The Aadhar card will not be printed again.
Previously, the format of the Aadhar Card Reprint service was different, however, UIDAI has since altered it. The UIDAI now issues PVC Aadhar cards, which are more appealing and smaller than a debit card. This new card is small enough to fit in a pocket or wallet. This has also made carrying the Aadhar card more convenient.
