Calculate your e-Aadhaar PDF password instantly based on UIDAI naming rules. 100% private, client-side calculator.
Downloaded your e-Aadhaar card but cannot open it? The official UIDAI Aadhaar PDF is password-protected to safeguard your sensitive biometric and personal information. To open the file, you need a unique 8-character password which is generated based on your personal details.
The standard password formula combines the first four letters of your name in CAPITAL letters and your birth year (YYYY). This tool explains the format with clear examples.
| Candidate Name | Year of Birth | Aadhaar PDF Password (8 Characters) |
|---|---|---|
| AMIT KUMAR | 1995 | AMIT1995 |
| R. P. SHARMA | 1988 | R.P.1988 (Spaces are skipped, dots count) |
| SIA | 2002 | SIA2002 (If name is 3 letters, use 3 letters + year) |
| DEVENDER | 1990 | DEVE1990 |
The default password is an 8-character combination of the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITAL letters followed by your birth year in YYYY format.
Ensure your name letters are in CAPITAL format. If your name has initials or is shorter than 4 letters, include the dots/characters or use the exact letters as written on your Aadhaar card.
If your name is shorter than 4 letters, use all the letters of your name followed by your birth year. For example, for 'Roy' born in 1992, the password is 'ROY1992'.
No, the password must be entered continuously without any spaces between your name initials and birth year.
Yes. The letters of your name must be typed in uppercase (CAPITALS). Lowercase letters will return an error.
You can open the PDF using your password and print it to a new PDF using 'Print to PDF' or use our PDF Password Remover tool to remove security permanently.
Include the dots and initials. For 'R. K. Sen' born in 1985, the password would be 'R.K.1985' (spaces are skipped, dots are counted).
You can download it from the official UIDAI website (myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in) using your 12-digit Aadhaar number, Enrolment ID, or Virtual ID.
Yes. You can open it on Android or iPhone using any standard PDF viewer app like Adobe Acrobat or Google Drive PDF viewer by entering the 8-character password.
UIDAI protects the e-Aadhaar PDF with a password to secure your Aadhaar number, demographic details, and QR code from unauthorized access.
