How to Check Aadhar Card Status With Enrollment No., Name, SMS

Aadhaar is a unique ID number given by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India). It is very important for opening a bank account, applying for SIM cards, getting government subsidies, and many other services. After you apply for Aadhaar or update details like your name, address, or mobile number, it may take a few weeks for the changes to get updated. During this time, you may want to check the status of your Aadhaar application.

The good news is that UIDAI allows you to check Aadhaar status online and offline. You can check it by using your enrolment number (EID), your name and date of birth, or even through SMS. Once you know the status, you will be able to see if your Aadhaar has been generated, updated, or if it is still under process.

How to Check Aadhaar Status Online

Checking Aadhaar status online is very simple. You can do it through the official UIDAI website. The main things you need are:

• Your Aadhaar Enrolment ID (from the slip you got when you applied).

• Or your Aadhaar Number (if already generated).

• A registered mobile number to get OTP.

Basic steps:
