Guide on Downloading Aadhaar Card through WhatsApp: A Detailed Breakdown of the Process

In a groundbreaking move, the Indian government has enabled a new service that allows citizens to download their Aadhaar card directly via WhatsApp. This convenient feature is powered by DigiLocker integration and promises a secure and straightforward process.

To initiate the download, users need to save the number +91-9013151515 as "MyGov Helpdesk" on their WhatsApp contacts. Starting a conversation with a simple "Hi" to the MyGov Helpdesk on WhatsApp triggers the download process.

However, it's important to note that the mobile number linked with Aadhaar is essential for this service. If you don't have a DigiLocker account, don't worry! You can create one during the process.

The downloaded digital Aadhaar is password-protected for your security. However, before using the WhatsApp service, ensure that your Aadhaar and other documents are updated in your DigiLocker account.

Once you've selected DigiLocker Services from the options provided, the process begins. You'll be asked to enter your Aadhaar number and verify it using an OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

The digital Aadhaar will then be delivered in PDF format directly on WhatsApp after selection. Please note that only documents already available in your DigiLocker account will be accessible. Also, only one document can be downloaded at a time through this service.

The download process is secure, and the digital Aadhaar is encrypted, ensuring it's accessible only to the rightful owner. To confirm if you already have a DigiLocker account, you'll be prompted to do so during the process.

In case you encounter any issues or need assistance, the official WhatsApp number for the MyGov Helpdesk is +91-9013151515. The helpdesk is available to guide you through the process and answer any questions you might have.

With this new service, downloading your Aadhaar card has never been easier or more secure. So, go ahead and give it a try!
