Can the same Aadhaar VID be used at multiple places?

Can I reuse the same Aadhaar Virtual ID (VID) across services?

Info : Yes. The same Aadhaar Virtual ID (VID) can be reused across multiple services as long as it is active. UIDAI allows you to reuse the same VID or generate a new one whenever you prefer.

Key details about Aadhaar VID usage

One active VID per Aadhaar: Only one VID is valid for your Aadhaar number at any given time.
Unlimited reuse: The same VID can be used repeatedly for services such as:
Banking and financial KYC
Telecom connections
Government portals
Private sector e-KYC services
Optional regeneration: You can generate a new VID anytime if you want added security or privacy.

Warning : A new VID can only be generated once every 24 hours per Aadhaar number.
