The Aadhaar card has become one of the most important identity documents in India.
It is required for many services, from opening a bank account to receiving benefits from government schemes.
Because of this, it is very important that the information in your Aadhaar record is always correct and updated.
One of the most important details linked to Aadhaar is your mobile number.
Many services send an OTP (One-Time Password) to the registered mobile number for verification.
If your number changes or becomes inactive, you may face problems using these services.
The good news is that you can now update your mobile number easily from home using the new Aadhaar mobile app.
Update Your Aadhaar Mobile Number from Home
The new mobile application launched by the Unique Identification Authority of India allows users to update their Aadhaar-linked mobile number without visiting an Aadhaar service center.
To update your mobile number through the app, follow these simple steps:
First, open the new Aadhaar mobile app on your smartphone.
Log in using Aadhaar-based authentication.
After logging in, go to the “Services” section on the homepage.
In this section, you will find several options, including the feature to update your mobile number.
Click on the mobile number update option.
The app will show the mobile number currently linked with your Aadhaar.
Now enter the new mobile number that you want to link with your Aadhaar.
After entering the number, an OTP will be sent to the new mobile number
Enter the OTP in the app to verify it.
Once the OTP is verified successfully, your request to update the mobile number will be sent to the Unique Identification Authority of India for processing.
Fee and Time Required for the Update
Updating your mobile number or address through the Aadhaar app involves a small service charge of around ₹75.
After submitting the request, it usually takes 10 to 15 days for the updated information to appear in your Aadhaar record.
In some cases, it may take slightly longer depending on verification.
The good part is that you can easily check the status of your update request directly through the Aadhaar app, so you always know the progress of your request.
