Frequently Asked Questions

Common developer queries about integrating the e-Aadhaar PDF Download API.

1. What is the e-Aadhaar PDF Download API?

The e-Aadhaar PDF Download API allows businesses to programmatically fetch the digitally signed Aadhaar PDF from official sources after valid OTP authentication by the user.

2. Is it possible to download a Masked Aadhaar?

Yes, our API supports a parameter to choose between a regular e-Aadhaar or a Masked Aadhaar, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations where full UID visibility is not required.

3. How does the API handle the PDF password?

The API can return the password-protected file as-is, or provide the necessary logic to programmatically unlock the PDF using the standard Aadhaar password convention (Name + YOB).

4. Is user consent required for the download?

Absolutely. The process is strictly OTP-based, meaning the e-Aadhaar PDF can only be retrieved once the user enters the OTP sent to their Aadhaar-linked mobile number.

5. Can I extract XML data along with the PDF?

Yes, the API response can include the Base64 string of the PDF and structured XML data, allowing for both visual verification and automated data entry.

6. What is the typical response time?

Once the OTP is validated, the PDF retrieval and processing typically take between 2 to 5 seconds depending on the source response time.

7. Does the API work with Virtual IDs (VID)?

Yes, our API supports both the 12-digit Aadhaar Number and the 16-digit Virtual ID (VID) to initiate the download process.

8. How secure is the file during transit?

We utilize bank-grade HTTPS/TLS 1.3 encryption for all data transfers. The files are handled in memory and are not stored on our servers permanently.

9. What are the error codes for expired OTPs?

Our API provides specific JSON error codes (e.g., OTP_EXPIRED or INVALID_OTP) to help your frontend provide clear feedback to the end user.

10. Can I use this for digital lending apps?

Yes, this is an ideal use case. It allows lending platforms to collect authentic, tamper-proof address and identity proof directly from the source in real-time.
