E Aadhaar password for mail copy PDF received from aadhaar@uidai.gov.in

Hi friends,

I have updated my Aadhaar details from Aadhaar update center.
It is mentioned that within 72 hours, my details will be updated.

Before 72 hours of my updated application, I had received an email from aadhaar@uidai.gov.in with an attachment which is password protected.

As I was unable to find the password to open the file in the sent mail, I have googled to find the answer. I have found mulitple options. You can try the following procedure to open the file with your password.

Procedure to open the document

1. Download the file
2. Rename the file by adding .pdf extension, if missing
3. Try the following passwords
• Password length is 8 characters
• First 4 characters of your name as mentioned in Aadhaar card (All small letters)
• Next 4 characters are your year of birth which is mentioned in Aadhaar card
• Password length is 6 characters
• Pin code of your address as per Aadhaar records
• Pin code of your enrolled area where you have applied the Aadhaar card
4. For me, 8 character password (first 4 characters of my name as mentioned in Aadhaar card + year of birth) worked.

Tatkal Passport Application required documents to apply in Hyderabad

Dear all,

I tried to apply tatkal in Hyderabad passport office with the documents specified in passportindia.gov.in. But when I reached after making an appointment, they said "Annexure F" is mandatory in Andhra Pradesh.

I was surprised, How come a normal person without any contacts of higher officials of State and Central government can apply for passport in tatkal mode??

The mediators will take around 5K and they will give this "Annexure F". That's cheating. I don't want to do that. Then eventually I have applied in normal mode. I don't know when I will get this. Mostly within one month of time, I should get my passport.


Lets see what happens.


If you are applying for passport in Normal mode then, you just need 2 documents.

1. Residence Proof
2. SSC Certificate

These two documents are enough to apply for a passport

If you are applying in tatkal mode, you need

1. Residence Proof
2. SSC Certificate
3. Annexure F
4. Annexure I
5. Driving License (Alternates Avail in passport india website)
6. PAN Card (-do-)
7. Aadhaar Card (-do-)

So, concluding this note by saying that, apply passport in tatkal if you know some higher officials as per Annexure F.
