The Unique Disability ID (UDID) is a single, nationally recognised card for persons with disabilities (दिव्यांग). It is issued through the swavlambancard.gov.in portal by the DEPwD.

The disability certificate records your assessed condition. The UDID card carries this information in one document accepted across India.

The process has three stages. First you apply online on the portal. Next, the CMO or Medical Board assesses you at a designated hospital. Finally, the disability certificate and UDID card are generated.

You need these documents for pension, reservation in jobs and education, travel concessions and other welfare schemes. Checking your status online tells you which stage your file has reached.

Go to swavlambancard.gov.in in your browser. Check that the web address ends in gov.in before you enter any details.

On the homepage, click the “Track Application Status” option. This opens the tracking form on the track page.

Type your enrollment / application number. You may instead use your Aadhaar number if it was linked during registration.

Enter your date of birth and the captcha code shown on screen. Take care to copy the captcha exactly.

Click “Submit”. The portal shows your current stage, such as pending verification, sent for medical assessment, or card generated.

You can also install the official UDID app, choose “PwD Login”, and enter your enrollment number and date of birth to view the same status.

First, recheck your status after a few days, as medical assessment can take time. Confirm your registered mobile number is correct so you receive updates.

If your file is stuck for a long period, you can ask the public authority for the reason in writing. The Right to Information Act, 2005 lets any citizen seek the status and reasons behind a delayed file.

A short, polite RTI to the District Disability Welfare Officer or the CMO office often moves a stalled application. Our guide RTI for UDID / disability certificate explains exactly what to ask.

You can prepare the application in minutes with our RTI Drafter. For deeper steps, see RTI for disability certificate and UDID.

• Checking your status on the official portal is free. Be wary of agents who demand money to “track” or “speed up” your file.
• Use only swavlambancard.gov.in. Avoid look-alike sites and paid lookup pages.
• Never share your OTP, password or full Aadhaar with any caller or middleman.
• The portal occasionally goes offline for maintenance. If it does, wait and try again later.

Only swavlambancard.gov.in is the official portal of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. Use its “Track Application Status” option. Other sites that ask for payment to check status are not official and should be avoided.

Your enrollment or application number appears on the acknowledgement shown when you applied, and is often sent to your registered mobile. If you linked Aadhaar during registration, you may be able to track using your Aadhaar number and date of birth instead.

Timelines vary by district and by the medical assessment schedule. Your status moves from verification, to medical assessment at the CMO or Medical Board, to card generation. If it stays unchanged for a long time, you can file an RTI to ask the reason.

Yes. Install the official UDID app, choose “PwD Login”, and enter your enrollment number and date of birth. This shows the same status as the website tracking page.

There is no charge to check your status online on the official portal. If anyone asks for money to track or release your file, treat it as a warning sign and do not pay or share personal details.
