Aadhaar update status check EID UIDAI

Aadhaar update status is the UIDAI record of an enrolment or change request. Track it on myAadhaar with the EID, URN, or SRN on your acknowledgement slip. Checking status is free; call 1947 if the slip is lost.

UIDAI does not finish enrolment or an update at the counter. The packet goes for verification. The status check tells you whether the number is generated, the update is done, or the request is rejected.

An enrolment request is a first Aadhaar. An update request changes details on a number you already hold. How to enrol is on how to apply for Aadhaar.

You track with one reference from the acknowledgement slip.

• EID (Enrolment ID) is the enrolment number plus date and time, printed on the slip at an enrolment or update centre.
• URN (Update Request Number) is given when you apply for an update through the online portal.
• SRN (Service Request Number) is given for certain service requests through UIDAI channels.

Use exactly the number on the slip. Do not guess missing digits.

Verb-led steps

1. Open myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/CheckAadhaarStatus. Type the address yourself.
2. Choose Check Enrolment and Update Status.
3. Enter the EID, URN, or SRN exactly as printed.
4. Enter the captcha and submit.
5. Read the live label. Screenshot it.
6. If generated or updated, download e-Aadhaar from myAadhaar.

The official mAadhaar / Aadhaar App also has a track-request option. Download only from the official app store listing.

UIDAI runs a quality check on photo, fingerprints, and iris. A request can sit on QC hold if the capture fails those rules. That is a data-quality hold, not a demand that you pay an agent.

Call 1947 with the EID if the screen stays on processing or QC. Ask whether a re-enrolment or a fresh update is needed. Do not pay a cafe to “clear QC”.

Exact wording can vary. Follow the screen. A short wait after a centre visit is normal. A packet that does not move is not normal. Then use 1947, the complaint page, and RTI.

If you lost the slip, call 1947. You may also retrieve a lost EID through official myAadhaar retrieve options. Never share Aadhaar OTP with a private recovery agent.

Checking status is always free. Enrolment is free. Update charges are different. These figures come from UIDAI's published Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Charges, as of August 2026.

Document update on myAadhaar is listed as free till 14.06.2027. At a centre it is ₹75. PVC card is a separate paid product. Fee is shown at UIDAI checkout.

UIDAI treats a mandatory biometric update as a stand-alone visit. Ask the operator before you combine services. A centre that charges for first enrolment is not following UIDAI's table. Call 1947.

Name on Aadhaar should match PAN if you will link them. A mismatch blocks KYC. See PAN-Aadhaar name mismatch KYC fix and how to apply for PAN card.

Use only UIDAI hosts.

• Status: myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/CheckAadhaarStatus
• Complaint: myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/file-complaint
• UIDAI home and document lists: uidai.gov.in
• Helpline: 1947 (toll-free). The Instant e-PAN FAQ also prints 18003001947 for UIDAI.

Fake “aadhaar status” sites copy the UIDAI look. They steal OTP. Type the address. Do not tap a search ad.

If the update is rejected, read the reason on the portal or from 1947. Common genuine causes include an unclear document, a proof not in the applicant's name, and poor biometric quality. Fix the listed gap. Submit a fresh request. UIDAI publishes the accepted-document list. Follow that list, not a cafe printout.

Voter ID is a separate identity document. Status for that is not myAadhaar. See how to apply for voter ID.

UIDAI is a public authority under the Right to Information Act, 2005. File under s.6(1) to the Public Information Officer of the UIDAI Regional Office that covers your state, or the CPIO named on uidai.gov.in RTI. The PIO must reply in 30 days under s.7(1). Silence or a vague reply goes to first appeal under s.19(1).

Call 1947 and file the myAadhaar complaint first. RTI is for the packet log, the QC or rejection reason on record, and the pending officer. It is not a paid “speed-up”.

1. Current status of Aadhaar enrolment or update request [EID / URN / SRN] dated [date], as on the date of this reply.
2. Name and designation of the official or process owner for this reference, and from which date it is pending.
3. If on QC hold: the quality-check remark for photo, fingerprint or iris, and whether a fresh capture is required.
4. If rejected: copy of the rejection reason and the document or biometric still treated as outstanding.
5. Action taken on UIDAI helpline or myAadhaar complaint [number] dated [date].

• Enrolment is free. Biometric update is ₹125 except the free age bands above.

• Typing EID without the date-time portion printed on the slip.
• Tracking on a lookalike site from a search ad.
• Treating QC hold as a cue to pay a broker.
• Filing RTI to a state CSC or a private operator instead of the UIDAI Regional Office PIO.
• Starting a second enrolment because the first EID is still in process.

Open myAadhaar Check Enrolment and Update Status. Enter the EID exactly as printed, including date and time if shown. Enter captcha. Submit. The same form also accepts URN or SRN.

EID is the centre slip number plus date and time. URN is the update request number from an online update. SRN is a service request number from certain UIDAI channels. Track with the one your slip actually prints.

No. Status check is free. Enrolment is free. A biometric update is ₹125 except the free 5-to-7 and 15-to-17 windows, and the 7-to-15 window free till 30.9.2026. A separate demographic update is ₹75.

You need EID, URN, or SRN to look up the request online. Call 1947 to recover enrolment details. You may also retrieve a lost EID through official myAadhaar. Never share details with private agents who charge for recovery.

QC hold means photo or biometrics failed UIDAI quality rules. Call 1947 with the EID. Ask whether a fresh capture is required. Screenshot the status. If 1947 and the complaint page give no reason, RTI the UIDAI Regional Office for the QC remark.

Yes. The official mAadhaar or Aadhaar App lets you track a request. Download only from the official store listing. Enter the same EID, URN, or SRN. Never share OTP.

Read the rejection reason on myAadhaar or from 1947. Fix the listed document or biometric problem. Submit a fresh request. If you get no clear reason, RTI UIDAI asking for the rejection remark and the action taken.

No. Aadhaar status is UIDAI. PAN status is Protean, UTIITSL, or Instant e-PAN. See PAN card status check Protean UTIITSL if you meant the tax number.
