Can you tell me when i will get the Plastic Aadhar card by Post?
Hello Venkatanarayanan,
It would be delivered to your postal address in two to three weeks time.
Hello,
I have updated my address through online and downloaded the E-adhaar. But my question is will I get the adhaar card through post also. If yes, how long it takes to be delivered.
Hello Sangeetha,
As you have updated your Address in Aadhaar, you will receive your Update Aadhaar Card Letter through post on your updated registered address. However there is no specific timeline when your physical Aadhaar would be getting delivered to you, in my case i had updated my Aadhaar Online but i received it in more then 3 months whereas my parents Aadhaar was delivered just after 2 weeks of successful update done.
So be assured you will be going to receive your Aadhaar Letter very soon, just make sure that postman knows your address and your address is enough to locate your home. Or else you can get in touch with Post Office and request Postman to deliver your Aadhaar Letter if they receive.
Dear Sir, I have updated my Aaadhar Card for small change in my Address on 22.02.2018 in an Aaadhar correction/Updation Centre.

Hello Sathya,
eAadhaar is as valid as Aadhaar Card received through Post.
Hello,
I had updated my Address and Mobile number, i have not received the hard copy of Aadhar by post so far. Its been 4 months now.
E Aadhar card none of the authorities anywhere accept it.
Please suggest how do i get the hard copy of card with the updates
Hello Nagalakshmi S T,
If you have still not received Aadhaar Hard Copy then the only way left is to use eAadhaar or mAadhaar. eAadhaar and mAadhaar is as valid as Aadhaar Card received through post. If authorities are not accepting it, then you should take some written note from those authorities saying why they are not accepting it. And then later on you can report it to UIDAI by lodging complaint or tweeting them on twitter.
I had updated aadhar cards in Aug.2018 of my three family members as the date of birth was wrongly mentioned in year only instead of full DOB. Though I downloaded updated aadhar cards, but still original updated aadhar cards have not been received.
Hello Gururaj P. Kittur,
It will be better you inquire at Post Office whether anything from UIDAI has been received in your name, if not then UIDAI may be running backlogs so you should expect some more time to get your Aadhaar Letter Delivered to you. In case of urgency you can always use their Paid Service of Aadhaar reprint, which will deliver your Aadhaar Letter in 7 working days to your Address also with tracking code sent via Speed Post.
