Masked Aadhaar Card Image Guidelines — Size, Format & Rules

UIDAI Guidelines for Aadhaar Documents

When submitting Aadhaar for KYC or verification, organizations may have specific image requirements. Here are the standard guidelines:

Image Format Requirements

Parameter	Requirement
File Format	JPG, PNG, or PDF
File Size	Usually 50KB–2MB (varies by organization)
Resolution	Minimum 200 DPI for readability
Color	Color preferred, grayscale accepted
Orientation	Front side mandatory, back side may be required

What Should Be Visible on Masked Aadhaar?

• Last 4 digits of Aadhaar number (remaining 8 are masked as XXXX)
• Full name as registered with UIDAI
• Date of birth / Year of birth
• Gender
• Address (if present on the version you have)
• Photo — must be clearly visible
• QR code — must not be cropped or obscured

Common Rejection Reasons

• Blurry or low-resolution image
• QR code partially cut off
• Photo not clearly visible
• File size too large or too small
• Wrong format (e.g., submitting BMP when JPG is required)
• Both sides not provided when back side is required
