Virtual ID will be a temporary ID which will hide your actual 12 digit Aadhaar Number. You can just generate 16 digit random virtual number that would be mapped to your 12 digit Aadhaar, and provide it where-ever it is asked. By this was you would be able to secure your 12 digit Aadhaar Number from misuse. UIDAI will offer to generate Virtual ID via UIDAI resident portal, mAadhaar App, or at Aadhaar Kendra. Generating VID would be optional, the Aadhaar holder can either generate VID or else they can use directly Aadhaar Number instead. Once you generate VID it will be automatically revoked once you generate new ones or after validity expires of VID. VID would be generated only by Aadhaar holder and no individual or agency on behalf of Aadhaar holder. UIDAI shall implement the VID service by 1st March 2018.
