Aadhaar card is issued by the government of India. It is an identity card for the citizens of the country. It is very important to have an Aadhaar card because it is demanded as ID proof everywhere. uidai, the agency that issues Aadhaar cards, also issues a 16-digit temporary code, which is used at the time of verification. As a virtual ID, a 16-digit digit is linked to the Aadhaar number. That is, roughly the 16 numbers of the virtual ID are an alternative to the 12 numbers of your Aadhaar.
You can generate a virtual ID many times
The virtual ID number is not fixed. It is temporary because you can generate it online as many times as you want. This protects your Aadhaar card as well as reduces the risk of fraud with it.
Virtual ID is usually used for e-KYC verification. Many times we fill the Aadhaar number on the online portal for this, then it becomes easy for the agency to access all the information related to your Aadhaar, but when you fill the virtual ID, your purpose of giving ID proof is also fulfilled and through this no one can access your Aadhaar related information.
Aadhaar remains secure with virtual ID
Many times news of leakage of Aadhaar related information has allegedly come to the fore, so with the aim of solving 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 the Aadhaar number, but you cannot find out the Aadhaar number from the VID. Another feature of VID is that it has no expiry date. That is, it remains valid until you generate a new VID.
