• Each PVC Aadhaar card generates its own SRN, which can be used to track individual orders.
• Delivery usually takes around a week, sometimes a little longer depending on location.
• This process does not update Aadhaar details; any corrections should be made before ordering the PVC card.
• For young children, the PVC Aadhaar may show limited biometric information due to existing records.
• There is no bulk or family checkout option; each Aadhaar card needs its own order and payment.
