The 12-digit unique identification (UID) number, or Aadhaar, will not have special numbers like 1947 or 1111 that can make the number susceptible to theft or misuse.

Apart from reserving two special values for the first and the last digits, the remaining digits of the number will be generated randomly when one requests a new ID, according to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which is commissioning the job of providing Aadhaars to every resident of the country.
