How to Update Mobile Number in Aadhaar?

Summary:


Changing your mobile number in the Aadhaar is a must if you want to receive OTPs and access government and financial services. If your number changes, you should update it without delay to avoid any inconvenience. The process is safe and can only be done at authorised Aadhaar enrolment or Aadhaar Seva centres.


Changing your mobile number in Aadhaar is required to access several government and financial services. Aadhaar-linked mobile numbers are used for OTP verification while using online services, banking facilities, and subsidy related benefits across India.

In case your mobile number has been changed or is inactive, you should update it at the earliest. Having an updated mobile number enables you to get alerts, keep track of Aadhaar services, and complete authentication without any inconvenience.

The procedure to change the Aadhaar mobile number is easy and takes care of your privacy. It is only allowed at authorised Aadhaar Seva Kendras or enrolment centres so that your personal details are safe and accurate.
