Good question Sachin, most of the people lock their aadhaar card but don’t know how to unlock it. They have the same dilemma of “how to unlock aadhaar card”. The Aadhaar lock/unlock feature is a security measure introduced by UIDAI to protect your Aadhaar number from unauthorized use.

- Visit the official UIDAI website i.e https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in.
- Under the “Aadhaar Services” section, click on the ‘Lock/Unlock Aadhaar’ option.
- Enter your virtual ID and the security captcha, then click on ‘Send OTP’.
- You will receive an OTP on your registered mobile number. Enter it in the required field.
- Once verified, choose the option to ‘Unlock Aadhaar’. Your Aadhaar number will now be active again for authentication purposes.
Alternatively, you can also unlock your Aadhaar through the mAadhaar mobile app by logging in with your registered mobile number and following similar steps under the “Lock/Unlock Aadhaar” option.
