Know Your Aadhaar or Unique Identity Number (UID)

After individuals apply for an Aadhaar card, they can check their Aadhaar status online from the UIDAI website. Once they ensure that their Aadhaar has been approved and generated, they can obtain a UID number online or through an SMS facility. 

Generation of UID number and Aadhaar copy can be done in two ways. 

1. By downloading the electronic copy of Aadhaar in PDF format
2. By receiving Aadhaar details on the registered mobile number

Download e-Aadhaar

In case individuals do not receive the physical copy of their Aadhaar card, they can obtain its electronic copy in the following ways:

• Visit the official website of UIDAI. 
• From the drop-down “My Aadhaar”, select “Download Aadhaar.”
• A new webpage will open from where you need to download your Aadhaar’s electronic copy. 
• You can download an e-Aadhaar by using the enrolment ID, which you can find on the acknowledgement slip received during registration. This is a 28-digit code. Note that individuals who already possess an Aadhaar number can obtain an e-Aadhaar by using it. 
• Enter the security code to generate an OTP. 
• Submit OTP and click on “Verify and Download.”
• The e-Aadhaar will be downloaded. 

Get Aadhaar on Mobile

• Go to UIDAI’s official website. 
• Click on “My Aadhaar” and select “Retrieve Lost/Forgotten EID/UID” from the drop-down. 
• Select “Aadhaar Number” and proceed. 
• Enter details such as name, mobile number and email address. 
• Type the captcha code for verification. 
• Click on “Send OTP” or “Enter TOTP (Temporary One-time Password).” 
• Submit the OTP to receive details regarding the Aadhaar number on your registered mobile number.

Similarly, one can generate an enrolment ID by following the aforementioned steps. 

On receiving the Aadhaar number, one can link it to the bank accounts and get benefits from several government schemes and programmes. 

Reasons for Not Receiving Physical Copy of Aadhaar

1. Cards may not be printed due to a backlog. 
2. There may be technical issues for which one might not receive an Aadhaar card. 
3. It may be lost in transit. 

Final Word

Considering the above queries, one might generate an electronic copy of Aadhaar from UIDAI’s website. An e-Aadhaar serves the purpose of an original Aadhaar card; that is, it may be used as an identity and address proof. Financial institutions also accept these copies and offer subsidies and benefits related to government schemes.
