When you apply for an Aadhar card, you are issued an Enrollment ID (EID) slip that contains information such as EID, your name, address, mobile number, and email address, etc. The EID mentioned on the slip is very important. You can use this number to track your application status. Normally, Aadhaar is delivered to your registered mailing address within 90 days after application. So, it is a long period of time. Instead of waiting for such a long period of time, you can download Eaadhaar from the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) website using this EID. But, it might possible that you lost this slip and in this case, it is not possible to check your application status and download your Eaadhaar card. In this article, we will guide you on how you can download Eaadhar card by name easily.
