Applied for an Aadhaar card but still haven’t received it? You can easily check the status of your application online. All you need is a copy of the acknowledgement slip that you are given after your visit to the enrolment centre. If you have that, then this is an easy process.
An Aadhaar card is an official government-issued identity card for Indians. Many government institutions accept this card as a proof of identity and some require that you produce your Aadhaar card. The card is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on behalf of the government. It’s steadily being linked to a growing number of government functions, and continues to grow in importance, so it’s probably a good idea to get an Aadhaar card, even if you don’t necessarily need one yet.
