Aadhaar Card Tracking: Check Your Aadhaar Delivery Status Online
After Aadhaar enrolment or an update, UIDAI prints your Aadhaar letter and dispatches it by Speed Post to your registered address. With Aadhaar card tracking, you can follow the letter’s journey using the 13-digit tracking number UIDAI issues at dispatch — delivery is free, and you never pay the postman.
How to Track Your Aadhaar Card in 3 Steps
- Get your tracking number — on the UIDAI portal or mAadhaar app, using your Enrolment ID (EID) or Aadhaar number. It starts with EE and ends with IN.
- Enter it in the tracking tool at the top of this site’s homepage, or on the official India Post Track & Trace service.
- Read the status — Item Booked → In Transit → Out for Delivery → Item Delivered is the normal journey.
Where to Find Your Aadhaar Tracking Number
- UIDAI portal: check dispatch status with your Enrolment ID; the Speed Post number appears once dispatched.
- mAadhaar app: the app shows the same dispatch and tracking details on your phone.
- SMS: UIDAI sends dispatch updates to your registered mobile number.
Aadhaar Card Delivery Time
- Printing: usually 5–10 days after enrolment or update approval.
- Transit: 3–7 working days by Speed Post across India.
- Total: expect the letter within about 15–30 days of enrolment; PVC cards ordered online typically arrive within 2–3 weeks.
Aadhaar Card Not Delivered? Here’s What to Do
- Verify your address in UIDAI records — undelivered letters return to UIDAI, not to a local office.
- Status shows “Delivery Attempted” — collect it from the delivery post office with ID proof.
- Status shows “Returned to Sender” — update your address with UIDAI and request re-dispatch through the UIDAI portal.
- No movement for 10+ days — complain via the India Post website or call 1800-266-6868 with your tracking number.
Tip: the mAadhaar app and the downloadable e-Aadhaar PDF are valid proof of Aadhaar while you wait for the physical letter.
