AI SummaryMaharashtra government has launched MahaSarathi portal and all state residents who have completed their MahaID registration on MahaSarathi portal can now download their MahaID card in PDF format after logging into MahaSSO.
No physical MahaID card is sent to your home after registration. MahaID is linked to your Aadhaar number, so the card is only a digital copy of your ID and the profile details attached to it.

FAQ's
Is MahaID card given as a physical card?
No. MahaID is a number linked to your Aadhaar and the card exists only in digital form. Print the downloaded PDF yourself if you need a paper copy.
Can I download the card without logging in?
No. The portal opens the card only inside your own account, so a MahaID or Aadhaar login with OTP is the only way in.
Does the MahaID card download cost anything?
No, it is free on both MahaSarathi portal and DigiLocker. Any website or agent asking for money to make or download your card is not official.
My name or photo on the card is wrong. What can I do?
Details on the card come from Aadhaar and other department records, not from the portal itself. Get the record corrected at its source first, since the card picks up the updated data after that.
