In today’s digital era, the Aadhaar card has become an essential document for almost all government and private services.
But if you ever lose your Aadhaar number or Enrollment ID (EID), there’s no need to panic.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made it easy to retrieve your Aadhaar number or EID from home — without long waits or complex steps.
Recover Your Aadhaar Number in Four Easy Ways
1. Through UIDAI’s Official Website
Visit the official UIDAI website and click on the “Retrieve EID/UID” option. Enter your full name, mobile number or email address, and the captcha code.
Then, verify with the OTP sent to your mobile number to instantly recover your Aadhaar number or Enrollment ID.
2. Using the mAadhaar Mobile App
Download and open the mAadhaar app, log in, and choose “Retrieve EID/UID.” Enter your details, verify through OTP, and you’ll receive your Aadhaar number or EID directly in the app.
3. By Calling the Helpline Number 1947
The simplest way is to call 1947, the official UIDAI helpline. Choose your preferred language, follow the instructions, and enter your details.
The system will verify your identity and help you retrieve your Aadhaar number or EID instantly.
4. Visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra
If your mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar, visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
After biometric verification, you can get your Aadhaar number by showing documents such as your PAN card or Voter ID.
These options ensure you can easily recover your Aadhaar details, even if your card is lost or misplaced.
This initiative by Digital India offers citizens a safe, reliable, and convenient way to maintain their identity records.
So, there’s no need to worry about losing your Aadhaar number — just follow these simple steps from UIDAI and keep your identity secure at all times.
