    What's the story

    Although the situation in Kerala is reaching normalcy as rehab operations are currently underway, but the destruction of lives, property, and assets it has resulted in is tremendous, and disheartening.

    Among other losses, people's educational, professional documents and important ID proofs have been lost or destroyed.

    Here's how you can retrieve lost/damaged Aadhaar, ration cards, and other documents.

    Aadhaar, Ration

    How to retrieve lost Aadhaar and Ration cards

    Aadhaar: You can avail an e-Aadhaar from your nearby Aadhaar-enrolled Akshaya Center by providing details like your name, address, DOB, along with biometrics. Also, keep the printed copies of e-Aadhaar handy, for physical use.

    Ration cards: One can get a temporary Ration card issued from the respected Taluk Supply Office by giving a written request. Ration can also be bought through Ration-card copies, if available.

    RC, License

    Know how you can retrieve your damaged RC and license

    You can get your damaged RC Book and Driving license replaced with new ones by submitting the former at the concerned Regional Transport Office (RTO).

    In case, these documents are lost altogether, you'll have to publish an announcement in this regard in the newspapers and pay a prefixed fee. Duplicate documents will be issued to you within a period of 2 weeks.
