Check Aadhaar Enrollment Status Online Check Update

No more waiting weeks for updates! With UIDAI’s Aadhaar Status Check, you can easily
track whether your Aadhaar has been generated, is under verification, or requires re-
enrollment, all in just a few clicks.

Why Aadhaar Enrollment Status Check is Important

Earlier, people who applied for Aadhaar had to wait without knowing the progress of their application. There were long queues at centers, postal delays, and no digital tracking.
Today, Aadhaar is essential for various purposes, including opening a bank account, linking a PAN, applying for scholarships, receiving government benefits, or even activating SIM cards.

Thanks to the UIDAI Aadhaar enrollment status check, residents can now check the real-time status of their Aadhaar application and take action immediately.

What Is Aadhaar Card Enrollment?

Aadhaar card enrollment is the process through which an Indian resident provides biometric and demographic information to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for identity creation. Each applicant’s data undergoes de-duplication to ensure that every Aadhaar number is unique and verified.

What is UIDAI Aadhaar Card Enrollment Status?

Once you enroll, UIDAI begins verifying your submitted data. The Aadhaar Enrollment Status reflects your current stage in that process. It shows if:

• Aadhaar has been generated (ready for download).
  
• The application is still being verified.
  
• Enrollment was rejected due to a document or biometric mismatch.
  

The usual processing period is 7–90 days, depending on the accuracy of data and system workload.

Eligibility for My Aadhaar Enrollment

• Indian Residents: Any individual living in India, irrespective of age or gender.
  
• NRIs (Non-Resident Indians): Eligible if they have resided in India for at least 182 days within the last 12 months.
  
• Children: Newborns and minors can also enroll, and a special Baal Aadhaar is issued for those under 5 years.

Methods of Aadhaar Enrollment

UIDAI provides multiple options to help residents complete Aadhaar enrollment based on their available documents and situation. Each method ensures every individual, including those without formal proof, can successfully obtain an Aadhaar number.

1. Enrollment at Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK) / Permanent Enrolment Centre (PEC)

The most common and straightforward method is visiting an authorized Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK) or Permanent Enrolment Centre (PEC).

Steps to Enroll:

1. Locate your nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or PEC using the UIDAI “Locate Enrolment Centre” tool.
   
2. Carry original documents for Proof of Identity (PoI), Proof of Address (PoA), Date of Birth (DoB), and Proof of Relationship (PoR), if applicable.
   
3. Fill out the Aadhaar Enrollment Form provided at the center (or pre-fill it online and take a printout).
   
4. Submit your documents for verification by the enrollment officer.
   
5. Provide your biometric data (photograph, fingerprints, and iris scan).
   
6. Review all details carefully before confirmation.
   
7. Receive your acknowledgment slip containing a 28-digit Enrollment ID (EID).
   
8. Use this EID to check your Aadhaar enrollment status later on UIDAI’s website or mAadhaar app.
   

Important Tip: There are no charges for new Aadhaar enrollment. However, updates or corrections may have a small fee depending on the service.

2. Enrollment Without Documents (Introducer System)

UIDAI ensures that even residents without valid documents can still enroll through an Introducer System. The “Introducer” is an authorized individual (usually a government officer, bank official, or verified UIDAI representative) who confirms your identity and address.

Steps to Enroll Without Documents:

1. Visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra that supports Introducer-based enrollment.
   
2. Provide your basic personal details (name, date of birth, gender, and address).
   
3. The Introducer (registered with UIDAI) must be present during the enrollment process.
   
4. The Introducer authenticates your identity using their Aadhaar number and signature/thumbprint.
   
5. Provide biometric data (photograph, fingerprints, and iris scan).
   
6. Collect your acknowledgment slip with the 28-digit Enrollment ID (EID).
   
7. Use this EID later to track your Aadhaar enrollment status.
   

Important Note: This system is primarily used for individuals from marginalized backgrounds, migrants, and those without formal identity proofs.

3. Head of Family (HoF)-Based Enrollment

For family members who don’t have valid documents, UIDAI allows enrollment based on the Head of Family’s Aadhaar. This method is common for spouses, children, or dependents living in the same household.

Steps for HoF-Based Enrollment:

1. Visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or PEC with the Head of Family.
   
2. Provide the HoF’s Aadhaar number and a Proof of Relationship (PoR) document, such as a ration card or family certificate.
   
3. The HoF must be physically present to verify and authenticate the relationship.
   
4. Submit other required details like name, age, and address (which must match the HoF’s Aadhaar).
   
5. Biometric data (fingerprints, iris scan, photograph) will be collected for the new applicant.
   
6. Once done, receive your acknowledgment slip with EID to track the status online.
   

4. Enrollment for Children (Baal Aadhaar)

UIDAI issues a special blue-colored Baal Aadhaar card for children below 5 years of age. It helps link them to various child-centric schemes and services.

Steps for Baal Aadhaar Enrollment:

1. Visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or PEC with the child and one parent/guardian.
   
2. Carry the child’s birth certificate and the parent’s Aadhaar card.
   
3. Fill out the child enrollment form with the parent’s Aadhaar as proof of relationship.
   
4. The child’s photograph is captured (no biometric data is taken before age 5).
   
5. Review details and confirm accuracy.
   
6. Receive the acknowledgment slip containing the Enrollment ID (EID).
   
7. Use EID to track the child’s Aadhaar enrollment status online.
   
8. Once the child turns 5, visit a center again for biometric updates, and once more at age 15.
   

Important Note: The Baal Aadhaar card is blue in color and automatically linked to the parents’ Aadhaar until biometrics are updated.
