Aadhaar Card Status - How to Check Aadhaar Card Update Status?

The Aadhaar card has emerged as one of the most critical identification proofs for every Indian citizen. Apart from being the identification proof document, an Aadhaar card is required to be submitted to obtain several services and benefits offered by the Government as well as private entities. It is therefore essential to ensure that all the information that is recorded in your Aadhaar is accurate and up to date.

Methods To Track Aadhar Card Status

Status Check Via Enrollment Number

Applicants can check the status of their Aadhaar card online through the UIDAI’s official portal at no cost, through the following steps:

• Visit the UIDAI official website
• Enter your 14-digit enrollment ID along with the 14-digit date and time mentioned on your enrolment/update acknowledgment slip.
• Complete the captcha verification.
• Click on ‘Check Status’ to view your Aadhaar update.
• To download your e-Aadhaar, select the ‘Download Aadhaar’ option.
• If you want to receive it on your phone, choose ‘Get Aadhaar on Mobile’.

Status Check Without Enrollment Number

If you've lost your enrolment number or misplaced your acknowledgement slip, you can retrieve it and then use it to check your Aadhaar card status. Here's how to check your Aadhaar status without an enrolment number:

• Visit the UIDAI website to recover your enrolment number.
• Enter your name, registered mobile number, email ID, and the security code displayed on the screen.
• An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number.
• Enter the OTP and click on the ‘Verify OTP’ button.
• Once verified, your Enrolment ID or Aadhaar number will be sent to your registered mobile number and email.
• You can then use this Enrolment ID to check the status of your Aadhaar card.

Status Check With Name

When you apply for an Aadhaar card, you receive an acknowledgment slip that contains your Enrolment ID. This ID can be used to track the status of your Aadhaar card generation.

Similarly, if you’ve submitted a request to update any details on your Aadhaar card, you will be issued an Update Request Number (URN). This URN allows you to check the progress of your update request.

Status Check Via SMS

• Send an SMS to 51969 in the following format - UID STATUS <14-digit Enrolment Number>
• If your Aadhaar has been generated, you will receive an SMS with your Aadhaar number.
• If it hasn’t been generated yet, you’ll receive an SMS with the current status of your application.

Checking your Aadhaar status is quick and hassle-free, whether online or via SMS. Make sure to keep your enrolment details handy to stay updated on your application or update progress.
