Common mistakes & rejection reasons
Selecting the wrong service or jurisdiction
Why: The department routes records by service, address, employer, vehicle, or event jurisdiction.
Fix: Confirm the responsible office and exact service name on the department portal before submitting.
Entering details that do not match the source record
Why: A spelling, date, address, or reference-number mismatch can stop an automated match.
Fix: Copy the value from the original record and review the completed form before authentication.
Uploading an incomplete or unreadable file
Why: Cropped pages, blurred text, unsupported formats, and password-protected PDFs can fail document checks.
Fix: Upload the complete, legible record in the format shown by the portal and retain the original.
Missing a department query
Why: An unanswered clarification can leave the request unresolved or send it back for correction.
Fix: Monitor the official account and registered contact channel, then answer through the same route.
Using an unofficial link or agent form
Why: A private page may collect identity information without being connected to the issuing authority.
Fix: Start at the official URL in this guide and verify the domain before entering credentials.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between enrolment and update status?▾
Enrolment status follows a first Aadhaar registration. Update status follows a request to change an existing record, such as an address, mobile number, name, date of birth, or gender.
Where is the Enrolment ID?▾
The 28-digit Enrolment ID is printed on the Aadhaar enrolment acknowledgement slip along with the date and time of enrolment. Enter all parts exactly as printed.
Where is the URN?▾
The URN is printed on the acknowledgement issued after an update request. Use it on the myAadhaar update-status page rather than entering the old Aadhaar enrolment number.
What does In Process mean?▾
In Process means UIDAI has recorded the request and it is still under the department's checks. Keep the acknowledgement and use the same status route for later checks.
What does Rejected mean?▾
Rejected means UIDAI did not accept the enrolment or update. The status page generally gives a reason, such as an unclear photo, mismatched proof, or duplicate enrolment.
What does Dispatched mean?▾
Dispatched indicates that the physical Aadhaar document has entered the delivery stage. Use the department's delivery or download options if the portal provides them.
What does Aadhaar Generated mean?▾
Aadhaar Generated means the enrolment has produced an Aadhaar number in UIDAI's system. Follow the portal instructions to retrieve or download the e-Aadhaar.
I lost my slip. Can I still check?▾
Try the UIDAI retrieval options using the registered mobile or email. If the reference cannot be recovered, contact UIDAI through its official help channel and do not create a duplicate enrolment without guidance.
Can I check both enrolment and update status?▾
Yes. Use the enrolment ID for first enrolment and the URN for a later update. They are separate status routes.
What if I enter the wrong enrolment ID?▾
Compare every digit with the acknowledgement slip, including the date and time fields. If the slip is lost, use UIDAI's recovery options.
Does Rejected mean I need a new Aadhaar?▾
No. A rejected update or enrolment requires you to read the reason and use the correction or fresh-enrolment route advised by UIDAI.
How do I retrieve e-Aadhaar after generation?▾
Use the UIDAI download route with the Aadhaar number or approved retrieval details and complete the registered-mobile verification.
What if Dispatched is shown but the card is missing?▾
Keep the enrolment or update reference and use UIDAI's delivery or support route. You can also use the permitted digital Aadhaar options.
Can a family member check my status?▾
They may help enter the reference, but the applicant should control the registered mobile and never disclose the OTP.
Which status page is genuine?▾
Use myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in or the UIDAI site linked from uidai.gov.in. Avoid pages that imitate the status form.
