In order to become an official resident of India, you must have to apply for an Aadhar card. It is your identity across India and is a 12 digit unique number. Any Indian resident can apply to get it without paying any fee by submitting the required document. Once you apply for Aadhar at any Aadhar Centre, you have to wait 90 days before the card reaches you. Of course, this is not a good idea to wait such a long period as there are multiple needs of this document at every stage of your life. If you can get it electronically well before your original hard copy document, then this is a real advantage. In this article, we will guide you through the complete process of download the Eaadhar card by enrollment number (EID).

- You will find the personal detail option, there you have to enter your EID (Enrollment ID). This can be found on the Aadhar enrollment slip which is issued to the applicant at the time of applying for an Aadhar card. EID is a 14 digit number.
- Now, enter your full name in the text field. Make sure you input this as printed on the enrollment slip.
- Input your six-digit area pin code.
- Now enter the Captcha code as shown in the image.
