    Disability Identity Card to Person with Disability

    About Unique Disability ID

    The “Unique ID for Persons with Disabilities” project is being implemented with a view of creating a National Database for PwDs, and to issue a Unique Disability Identity Card to each person with disabilities. The project will not only encourage transparency, efficiency, and ease of delivering government benefits to the person with disabilities, but also ensure uniformity. The project will also help in stream-lining the tracking of physical and financial progress of the beneficiary at all levels of the hierarchy of implementation – from village level, block level, District level, State level and National level.

    Objective

    The Objective of this project is to enable the PwDs to obtain the new UDID card / Disability Certificate to avail schemes and benefits provided by the Government through its various Ministries and their Departments. This card will be valid pan-India. The UDID portal shall be designed to provide an online platform for the following:

    1. New application for UDID
    2. Renewal of existing Certificate/Card on expiration of validity
    3. In the event of loss of card/certificate

    Card Benefits

    The UDID card shall bring a host of benefits to the Persons with Disabilities as given below –

    • Persons with disabilities will not need to make multiple copies of documents, maintain, and carry multiple documents as the card will capture all the necessary details which can be decoded with the help of a reader
    • The UDID card will be the single document of identification, verification of the disabled for availing various benefits in future
    • The UDID Card will also help in stream-lining the tracking of the physical and financial progress of beneficiary at all levels of hierarchy of implementation – from village level, block level, District level, State level and National level.
