Have you recently applied for an Aadhaar card? Then, you must have been worried about any updates on the current status of your Aadhaar application. Once you receive the Aadhaar acknowledgement slip, tracking your Aadhaar status update is simple. Whether online or offline, use your enrolment number for easy monitoring.

In this blog, you will learn the simple and convenient steps to check your Aadhaar enrolment status, update status, PVC card order status, complaint status, and more, with or without a registered mobile number.

What is Aadhaar Card Status?

Checking your Aadhaar card status gives a real-time update on the progress of your Aadhaar application. This feature lets you track whether your Aadhaar card has been generated, dispatched, or is still in processing. Checking your status is simple – use the enrolment number from your acknowledgement slip. It ensures transparency and informs you about every Aadhaar card journey phase. Knowing this ensures you know when your card is available for download, making the entire process accessible and convenient.

Keep these two numbers handy:

  • Enrolment ID (EID): A 28-digit number (14-digit enrolment number + 14-digit date and time stamp) printed on the top of your enrolment acknowledgement slip.
  • Update Request Number (URN): A 14-digit number provided after submitting an Aadhaar update request online, sent to your registered mobile number or email.
