Aadhaar PDF Password: How to Open and Remove It

By FreeNation Softwares · Updated 2026-10-17

When you download your e-Aadhaar from the UIDAI website, the PDF is locked with a password and asks for it every time you open it. Here is what the password is and how to remove it so you don't have to type it again.

What is the Aadhaar PDF password?

The e-Aadhaar password is the first 4 letters of your name (in CAPITAL letters, exactly as printed on Aadhaar) followed by your year of birth (YYYY).

💡 Example: name RAVI KUMAR, born 1998 → password is RAVI1998. If your name is shorter than 4 letters, use the full name plus the birth year.

How to remove the Aadhaar PDF password

Once you can open it with the password above, you can save a normal copy with no password:

Open the Unlock PDF tool — No app or sign-up needed.
Select your e-Aadhaar PDF — Choose the downloaded file.
Enter the password — Type it as explained above, e.g. RAVI1998.
Download — You get a clean copy with no password, ready for KYC, forms and printing.

Is it safe?

Yes — Unpass unlocks the PDF on your own device. Your Aadhaar is never uploaded to any server, which is exactly what you want for such a sensitive document.
