How to Check Aadhaar Update Status by URN or SRN

by

Aadhaar has become the backbone of India’s digital identity system. From opening a bank account to applying for a passport, it’s required almost everywhere. Sometimes, you may need to update details like your address, mobile number, or photo. Once you submit an update request, you get a URN (Update Request Number) or SRN (Service Request Number) — which helps you track your Aadhaar update status online.

In this guide, I’ll explain how to check your Aadhaar update status step by step using URN or SRN, along with a few real-world insights to make the process smoother.

What Are URN and SRN in Aadhaar?

When you submit an Aadhaar update request:

  • URN (Update Request Number) is generated if you update details at an Aadhaar Enrollment/Update Centre.
  • SRN (Service Request Number) is generated when you submit an online update via the UIDAI Self Service Update Portal (SSUP).

Both numbers are unique identifiers to help you track your request easily.

How to Check Aadhaar Update Status by URN

  1. Visit the official UIDAI website – https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/.
  2. Click on “Check Aadhaar Update Status” under the Update Aadhaar section.
  3. Enter your Aadhaar number (12 digits) and the URN (14 digits) you received on your acknowledgment slip.
  4. Enter the captcha and click Submit.

Your current Aadhaar update status will appear instantly. It may show one of the following:

  • Under Process – UIDAI is still verifying your update.
  • Successfully Updated – The update is approved, and changes are reflected.
  • Rejected – The request didn’t meet UIDAI’s documentation or verification criteria.

Example: When Ramesh from Hyderabad updated his address after moving, he used his URN to track the progress. Within 5 days, the status changed to “Successfully Updated,” and he downloaded the new e-Aadhaar directly.

How to Check Aadhaar Update Status by SRN

If you updated Aadhaar details online:

  1. Go to https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/.
  2. Log in using your Aadhaar number and OTP sent to your registered mobile.
  3. Select “Update Aadhaar Online” → “Check Status”.
  4. Enter your SRN and view your update status.

You can also download your updated e-Aadhaar once the status shows Successful.

Tips for Smooth Aadhaar Updates

  • Ensure your mobile number is linked with Aadhaar — OTP verification is mandatory.
  • Upload clear and valid documents (like electricity bill, passport, or bank statement).
  • Always note down or screenshot your URN/SRN before closing the page.
  • For rejected updates, recheck document clarity and spelling errors before resubmitting.

Final Thoughts

Checking your Aadhaar update status using URN or SRN is simple and takes less than a minute. Whether you applied online or at a center, keep your acknowledgment number safe until the update is complete. Regularly verifying your Aadhaar details ensures your identity records remain accurate across government and private services.
