Open e-Aadhaar PDF

Unlock your e-Aadhaar with the name and birth-year password.

Also called: e-Aadhaar PDF password, open Aadhaar PDF.

The e-Aadhaar password is the first 4 letters of your name in capitals plus your birth year. Enter them once and save a copy that opens without a password.

Open your e-Aadhaar PDF

The e-Aadhaar PDF downloaded from the UIDAI website or app is protected with a password. Many people cannot open it because they do not know the password format, and some offices and websites cannot accept a locked file. This tool opens your e-Aadhaar with the correct password and saves an unlocked copy that opens without a password, on your phone or computer.

The e-Aadhaar password format

The password is the first four letters of your name as written on the Aadhaar, in capital letters, followed by your year of birth in four digits. For example, if the name is Suresh Kumar and the year of birth is 1990, the password is SURE1990. If the name is shorter than four letters, use the whole name in capitals followed by the year, for example RIA1990. PDFPixo builds this password for you: type the name and the year of birth, and it tries the password automatically.

Common mistakes

Use the name exactly as printed on the Aadhaar, not a nickname. Spaces are skipped but dots count, so Sai Kumar becomes SAIK and P. Kumar becomes P.KU, as in the official UIDAI examples. A short name such as Ria becomes RIA1990. Use the year of birth, not the full date. If the password does not work, check the spelling on the card, because a name updated recently may be spelled differently in the downloaded PDF.

What you get

You get a copy of the same e-Aadhaar PDF without the password. Nothing on the document is changed: the photo, QR code and digital signature details remain as they were. Keep the unlocked copy safe, because anyone who has the file can now open it. If you need to share Aadhaar only partly, the Aadhaar masking tool can hide the first eight digits of the number.

Is this allowed?

This tool only works when you know the correct password for your own e-Aadhaar. It does not guess or break passwords. Use it only for your own Aadhaar or with the consent of the person it belongs to.

Where people need an unlocked copy

Some government, bank and job portals upload documents to their own servers and cannot read password protected files, so they show an error. Some print shops also cannot open the file. An unlocked copy solves this. If the portal also has a size limit, compress the unlocked PDF afterwards with your KB target, or convert it to an image with the PDF to JPG tool if only a picture is accepted.

Private by design

Your Aadhaar PDF, name and year of birth stay inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server or stored after you close the page, which matters for a document as sensitive as Aadhaar.
