What is the password for an e-Aadhaar PDF?
UIDAI sets the password from two details on your Aadhaar: the first four letters of your name in capital letters, followed by your year of birth in four digits. Meera Nair, born in 1993, gets MEER1993. Spaces inside the first four characters are skipped, so Om Prakash, born in 1979, gets OMPR1979. A dot after an initial counts as a character, which gives K. Rajan, born in 1985, the password K.RA1985. When the whole name has fewer than four letters, all of it is used: Ria, born in 2001, gets RIA2001.
Use the name exactly as it is printed in English on your Aadhaar, initials included, and only the year from your date of birth. Lowercase letters fail (meer1993 is rejected), and a full date of birth such as MEER15081993 fails too.
Where is the password removed?
The password is removed on a server, so the file leaves your device. When you click Unlock, the PDF and the password you typed go to the OneClickUse server, which passes them to a separate PDF unlock service and returns a copy without the password. Files up to 10 MB are accepted. Once the copy arrives, the page shows Unlocked with its size, and Download saves it under your original file name with unlocked- in front, so aadhaar.pdf becomes unlocked-aadhaar.pdf.
The password box shows what you type in plain text, which makes a lowercase letter or a missing digit easy to spot before you click. If the service rejects the password, its error message appears below the box, and you can correct the password and try again without choosing the file a second time.
What should you do with the unlocked copy?
Keep the original download from UIDAI as well. That file is exactly as UIDAI issued it, digital signature included. Use the unlocked copy where a portal refuses password-protected uploads. Anyone who gets it can open it without a password, so store it where only you have access.
Other PDF tools on OneClickUse need the unlocked copy. Compress PDF, PDF to Word and Edit PDF cannot work on a file that needs a password to open, and Merge PDF and Split PDF turn protected pages blank or unreadable. If a portal wants the card as an image, PDF to JPG exports each page as a JPG. To check that a 12-digit Aadhaar number is well formed, the Aadhaar Number Validator runs the Verhoeff checksum in your browser.
