UDID Disability Card

The Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act 2016 recognises 21 types of disabilities. These include locomotor disability, visual impairment, hearing impairment, speech and language disability, intellectual disability, autism, mental illness, and more. A disability certificate from a government hospital is the first requirement.

UDID card holders can access railway travel concessions (up to 75% discount for certain categories), reservation in government jobs and educational institutions (4% reservation), priority in government welfare schemes, free bus passes in many states, and priority banking services. The card serves as a single unified document replacing multiple disability certificates.

No. A disability certificate from a government hospital is mandatory. If you do not have one, we guide you on obtaining it first. NammaDocs can help with the full process — disability certificate guidance followed by UDID application.

UDID cards are issued with varying validity depending on the type and permanence of the disability. For permanent disabilities, the card may be valid for lifetime. For conditions that may change, it may be issued for a specific period (3–5 years) with provision for renewal.
