About a month back I went through my Aadhaar registration process at a one of the many Aadhaar centers in Bangalore. The process was pretty smooth and I was told to expect my card to reach my permanent residence address in about 2-3 months. Now in the meantime, if I would like to check the status of my application, all I would need is my enrollment ID (EID)

What is EID?

EID stands for enrollment ID and you can  find out your by locating the following details from your acknowledgement receipt.

The top of your acknowledgement slip contains 14 digit enrolment number and the 14 digit date and time of enrolment. These 28 digits together form your temporary EID.

How to check your Aadhaar card status?

Once you have your EID, simply click on this link and fill in the required details. Your application status will be available to you.

In case you have still not initiated your registration process, would encourage you to do so:

- Details of how to register for Aadhaar and what are the required documents

- Where to register for Aadhaar in Bangalore (it does not matter if your permanent address is not of Banagalore)

- Online appointment for Aadhaar Card
