UIDAI protects all e-Aadhaar downloads with a secure password lock. While this keeps your document safe, many registration portals cannot parse encrypted PDFs, leading to validation errors.
How to Remove Password from Aadhaar PDF
To decrypt your Aadhaar PDF locally without software:
- Open ToolWala's Unlock PDF tool.
- Upload your password-protected Aadhaar PDF.
- Enter the 8-character password when prompted (e.g., first 4 letters of your name in CAPITALS followed by your year of birth).
- Click Unlock and download the decrypted PDF.
This process is completed locally in your browser memory, ensuring your identity details are never exposed to external servers.
