I want to know what is VID number?

Virtual ID (VID):- VID is a temporary, revocable 16-digit random number mapped with the Aadhaar number. VID can be used in lieu of Aadhaar number whenever authentication or e-KYC services are performed. Authentication may be performed using VID in a manner similar to using Aadhaar number.

It's very simple. Aadhaar is not to be told for privacy concerns. So, you may use VID instead!

Thank you so much but how can I get VID number??
