Aadhaar Card Status – Check Update and Enrolment Status Online
The 12-digit unique identification number issued by UIDAI, the Aadhaar card, is an essential document for availing various government and financial services. Monitoring the status of your Aadhaar application or update is crucial to ensure uninterrupted access to these benefits.
This article provides a detailed guide on the importance, process, and easy methods of checking your Aadhaar card status online or offline, easily and efficiently.
Aadhaar Enrollment Status: After completing your enrollment at an Aadhaar Service Centre (ASK) or Permanent Enrollment Centre (PEC), you will receive a 28-digit Enrollment ID (EID) on your acknowledgment slip. You can check your enrollment status to confirm whether your Aadhaar number has been generated or not. This process typically takes 10 to 90 days.
Aadhaar Update Status: When you request to update your Aadhaar details such as name, address, mobile number, or biometrics online or at an enrollment center, you will receive an Update Request Number (URN) or EID. Tracking your update status helps you verify whether the requested changes have been completed, which usually takes 10 to 30 days.
Both enrollment and update services are free. UIDAI offers several secure channels such as the official website, mobile app, and SMS to track your status.
