The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the issuer of Aadhaar number, allows users to check the enrollment status of Aadhaar card using the enrollment ID (EID). The EID is displayed on the top of the enrollment/update acknowledgement slip and contains 14 digit enrollment number (1234/12345/12345) and the 14 digit date and time (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss) of enrollment. These 28 digits together form the EID.
In case the user has lost EID, he/she can retrieve lost or forgotten EID by the registered mobile number.
Here are the steps to check Aadhaar card enrollment status online:
Step 1: Visit the official website of UIDAI—uidai.gov.in
Step 2: Go to 'My Aadhaar option' and click
Step 3: Now, click on 'Check Aadhaar Status' option
Step 4: A new page will open, where the user will be required to enter the enrollment ID, date and time of enrollment, security code
Step 5: Now, click on the check status button

Aadhaar card users can update the mobile number by visiting any of the Permanent Enrollment Centre and following the biometric authentication. The Aadhaar holder has to be present with the Aadhaar card at the centre for a change in the registered mobile number, according to UIDAI.
However, verification of the mobile number can be done via Interactive Voice Response (IVR) service from the comfort of one's home. Regardless of one's network, one can simply dial a central number and verify their mobile number registered with Aadhaar number.
This PVC card contains security features like secure QR code, hologram, micro text, image, issue date and print date, guilloche pattern and embossed Aadhaar logo.
