Currently, Aadhaar is the most important identity proof for the citizens living in India. Thus, you must ensure that the information in your Aadhaar card is both correct and updated. However, if there is an instance where you want to correct or update any information in your Aadhaar card, you will have to place a formal request. The number generated after requesting an update or correction is the URN number in an Aadhaar Card.
The following sections talk about what URN number is in your Aadhaar Card and how you can check your Aadhaar status. Read on.
The URN number in an Aadhaar is a 14-digit number that is only issued when one requests any update or correction in the Aadhaar card online. Once an applicant submits the required details for updating their Aadhaar, they receive the URN via SMS.
This unique number helps in tracking their correction or update requests. For example, the URN number looks like this: 0234/00123/05234.
Follow these steps to generate your URN number:
Step 1: Visit the official Aadhaar self-service portal.
