The UDID (Unique ID for Persons with Disabilities) card serves as a single document for identification and verification of individuals with disabilities, facilitating their access to various benefits. The Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities launched the UDID project to enhance transparency, efficiency, and the delivery of government benefits to people with disabilities. This initiative aims to streamline the process of verifying disability status and ensuring uniformity in accessing benefits.
Individuals with disabilities who wish to apply for a UDID card can do so by a comprehensive online application process. The process involves registering on the UDID web portal and providing personal details. Additionally, applicants are required to submit essential documents. Once the application and documents are submitted, they undergo verification by the CMO Office/Medical Authority.
Following verification, a specialist doctor assesses the disability and assigns a percentage. The Medical Board then reviews the case, and upon confirmation, the CMO Office prepares the Disability Certificate and generates the UDID. Subsequently, the UDID datasheet is sent for card printing, with the final UDID card being delivered by post to the provided address.
Applicants can track the status of their application by visiting the UDID web portal. This process aims to streamline and simplify the application for UDID cards, ensuring efficient delivery and access to benefits for persons with disabilities.
