Find my lost Aadhaar number or enrolment ID
Forgot your Aadhaar number? Get it, or your enrolment ID, free by SMS on official myAadhaar with the mobile or email you gave to Aadhaar.
Free on the official page. Your own numbers only. We have no automated link to any government portal, use no private data services, and never store the result.
What you need
- Your full name, written the same way as on your Aadhaar.
- The mobile number or email you gave to Aadhaar, with that phone in your hand for the OTP (one-time code).
- Only your own details, or a family member's when they are with you and agree. UIDAI (the Aadhaar office) gives this free.
What to do on the official page
- Open the official myAadhaar website (the button on this page). Its address ends in uidai.gov.in. Do not use other sites that ask for your Aadhaar details.
- If you start from uidai.gov.in instead, the same page is the link 'Retrieve Lost UID' at the bottom of the page.
- Choose what you want back: the Aadhaar number, or the enrolment ID (EID, the number on the slip you got when you enrolled).
- Type your full name as on Aadhaar, the mobile number or email you gave to Aadhaar, and the picture code (captcha).
- An OTP comes to that phone or email. Type it yourself. Never tell it to anyone.
- Read the message and find it in the list below.
What the result means
The portal shows: A message says your number is sent, and an SMS comes with your Aadhaar number or enrolment ID.
It means: Your details matched. The number in the SMS is yours.
What to do next: Write it down safely. You can now download e-Aadhaar on myAadhaar with this number, free.
The portal shows: No match, or no OTP comes to your phone.
It means: The name, mobile or email you typed is not the same as in your Aadhaar, or your mobile was never linked to Aadhaar.
What to do next: Try once more with the name exactly as on Aadhaar. If it still fails, call the UIDAI helpline 1947 (free), or go to an Aadhaar centre in person; the operator can find your number there.
The portal shows: An error, or the page does not open.
It means: The captcha or OTP was wrong or late, or the site is busy.
What to do next: Type a new captcha and try again later. Help: UIDAI helpline 1947 (free).
Frequently asked questions
Is this free?
Yes. UIDAI says this service is free. FormSathi does not charge for this page.
My mobile is not linked to Aadhaar. How do I find my number?
Go to an Aadhaar centre in person; the operator can find it. You can also call 1947 (free). To get your Aadhaar printed in colour there, the official charge is ₹40.
What is the enrolment ID (EID)?
It is the long number on the slip you got when you enrolled for Aadhaar. It helps you track or find your Aadhaar if you lose the number.

Only your own, or a family member's who is with you and agrees. FormSathi never looks up another person's Aadhaar.
