how to delete aadhaar card

Currently, there is no policy for the permanent cancellation or deletion of an Aadhaar number once it has been issued. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) keeps the data for de-duplication purposes. However, a few specific provisions exist:

• A resident who received Aadhaar as a child can apply for omission/cancellation to a UIDAI Regional Office within six months of turning 18.
• UIDAI deactivates Aadhaar numbers of deceased individuals or in cases of duplicate cards and fraudulent enrollment.

You can secure your biometrics by using the 'Lock/Unlock Biometrics' function on the UIDAI website or mAadhaar app.
