How to Make ABC ID and Apaar ID

Before creating your ABC ID and Apaar ID, you should know that both IDs are the same. After creating any one of them, you will get a 12-digit number. If you create one of them, there is no need to create the other one separately.

How to Make APAAR ID: Step-by-step Process

To create an APAAR ID for students studying in Class 1 to 12, you need to visit your school. Parents must submit a consent form along with their Aadhaar cards. The school authority will generate the APAAR ID.

Students studying below Class 12 cannot create the APAAR ID by themselves.
