In today's world, an Aadhaar card has become an essential document. If you have applied for a new Aadhaar card, but your enrolment request has been rejected, or you’ve been notified of a "duplicate Aadhaar," there is no need to worry. This article will explain how you can use your Enrolment ID (EID) to retrieve your existing Aadhaar number.
What is Enrolment ID (EID)?
When you apply for an Aadhaar card at an enrolment center, you are given a unique number known as the Enrolment ID. This ID is a 28-digit number that includes a 14-digit enrolment number and a 14-digit date and time. If your Aadhaar application has been rejected or flagged as a duplicate, you can use this Enrolment ID to find your old Aadhaar number.
How to Check Aadhaar Number Using Enrolment ID?
Step 1: Visit the UIDAI Website
Start by opening any browser on your phone or laptop and visit the official UIDAI website (uidai.gov.in). Once on the site, scroll down to find the relevant section.
Step 2: Check Aadhaar Status
On the website, you'll see an option labeled "Check Aadhaar Status". Click on it.
Step 3: Enter Your Enrolment ID
Next, enter your Enrolment ID from the receipt you received at the enrolment center. This ID consists of:
- A 14-digit enrolment number
- A 14-digit date and time in the format (YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM)
Step 4: View Aadhaar Status
After entering the Enrolment ID, the website will display your Aadhaar status. If your application has been rejected, the website will notify you that your Aadhaar number has already been generated. Additionally, the website will show the old Enrolment ID, which is linked to your existing Aadhaar number.
How to Use Your Old Enrolment ID?
Once you have the old Enrolment ID, make sure to note it down for future reference. You can use this ID to retrieve your Aadhaar number.
Step 5: Go to the "My Aadhaar" Section
Now, go back to the UIDAI website and navigate to the "My Aadhaar" section. From here, you can also order a new Aadhaar card, even if your mobile number is not linked to your Aadhaar.
Order Aadhaar PVC Card
If your mobile number is not linked with your Aadhaar, you can still order a PVC Aadhaar card by using your old Enrolment ID.
Step 6: Order Your Aadhaar PVC Card
- Use your Enrolment ID.
- Fill in the necessary details like the date, time, and captcha.
- Click on Send OTP. You will receive an OTP on your registered mobile number.
- Enter the OTP and proceed with the payment. After payment, your Aadhaar PVC card will be sent to your address via post.
Conclusion
If your Aadhaar application has been rejected or flagged as a duplicate, there’s no need to panic. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily find your old Aadhaar number and order a PVC Aadhaar card.
