The Aadhaar card was introduced by the Government of India for the fellow residents which will be given after satisfying the verification process done by the UIDAI. Since then Aadhaar is used as one of the primary identification documents by the citizens. The Government of India has made it mandatory to link most of the services rendered to Aadhaar. People can provide Aadhaar as the sole document as ID proof, Address proof, Date of birth, etc. An individual can enrol for Aadhaar only once. As part of Digital India, the Government will urge the residents to link Aadhaar to many services and one among them will be the Driving License.
