How to retrieve lost or forgotten Aadhaar card EID or UID online

Have you misplaced or lost your Aadhaar card?

Do you want to get the Aadhaar card's enrollment ID? This article discusses how to get a duplicate Aadhaar card after losing or forgetting the enrollment ID or Unique Identification Number. The step-by-step approach includes instructions on how to obtain the card either online or at an enrollment facility.

Introduction

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh started the unique identification programme in Maharashtra, where Indian people could obtain an Aadhaar card. The scheme was then expanded to other Indian states, and many people received their Aadhaar cards as a result of aggressive enrolment drives. The project's purpose was to provide a citizen with a single identity evidence rather than several ones, such as a voter's ID, PAN card, or other documents that must be presented in order to access specific services, such as opening a bank account or applying for a government scheme. You can also use your Aadhaar for income tax e-filing verification.

Aadhaar thus became a Unique Identification Number (UID) to quickly & easily avail of various government benefits, such as those given through the rural health mission program and subsidies for LPG

So what happens if you lose your Aadhaar?

Don't be concerned! For people who have misplaced their Aadhaar enrolment slip, lost their Aadhaar, or desire to download their e-Aadhaar, the Unique Identification Authority of India has established arrangements. If you are one of these people, you can obtain an Aadhaar by using the internet or visiting an Aadhaar enrolment centre in your area.

How to get e-Aadhaar online

Here's a step by step guide:

Visit the Aadhaar website for further information. Select ‘Retrieve EID/UID' from the drop-down menu.

Fill in the boxes with your 12 digit Aadhaar number/28 digit Enrolment ID, your name, email address, or cell phone number. It is important to note that the email address or cell phone number provided at the time of Aadhaar enrolment must be the same.

Now input the security code that appears on the screen of your computer.

Select ‘Get OTP' from the drop-down menu. The acronym OTP stands for “one-time password.” The OTP will be emailed to your email address or cell phone number.

You must now input the OTP in the appropriate box on the UIDAI website. Then select ‘Verify OTP.'

The Aadhaar number will be delivered to your email address or mobile phone number once the OTP has been validated.

If you've misplaced your Aadhaar letter but know your enrolment ID (also known as EID) or Aadhaar number, you can use the same website to obtain an e-Aadhaar form.
