Aadhaar Card Mobile Number Updation Online - Step By Step Process

You must link your Aadhaar card and mobile phone if you want to use a range of Aadhaar-related services. OTPs are delivered to your registered mobile number and must be entered to access various Aadhaar services. With the use of these OTPs, your Aadhaar is made even more secure. If your number is not connected to your Aadhaar, you cannot use these services.

There could be several reasons why you might want to change or update the mobile number associated with your Aadhaar.

If you want to update your Aadhaar card's mobile number or your old UIDAI-registered mobile number has been deactivated, you must go to an Aadhaar Enrolment Center.

This article will explain how you can change or update the mobile number attached to your Aadhaar. Let's get started. 

Why Update Mobile Number Linked To Aadhaar Card?

There may be several reasons for wanting to update or change the mobile number associated with their Aadhaar card.

To begin with, having a mobile number linked with an Aadhaar card is essential for using various public and private services like filing tax returns, creating bank accounts, and applying for passports. Suppose someone changes their mobile number(for whatever reason). In that case, they will no longer receive any OTPs, updates, or notifications about their Aadhaar card, which may cause them to experience inconvenience and delay in using these services.

Second, since mobile numbers are commonly used for authentication purposes, unauthorised parties can use someone else's mobile number associated with their Aadhaar card. You can improve security and stop illegal access by changing the mobile number connected to your Aadhar card.

Finally, if a person has lost or broken their SIM card or is migrating to a different mobile service provider, they may want to update or change the mobile number on their Aadhaar. They can continue using the perks and services connected to their Aadhaar card without interruption by updating the mobile number attached to their Aadhaar card.

Aadhaar Card Mobile Number Update Process

Sometimes people misplace their mobile number or deactivate it for no fixed reasons. No matter why you change your number, if your mobile number has changed, you can update it in the UIDAI database.

The following information outlines how to update the mobile number on your Aadhaar card:

Visit the nearest Permanent Enrolment Centre. You can find the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra at "https://appointments.uidai.gov.in/". When you go to the enrollment centre, you must have your Aadhar Card.

You can ask for an update to your mobile number once you reach the enrolment centre. Follow these easy steps:

• Step 1: Fill out the Aadhaar Update/Correction Form.
• Step 2: Submit the completed form to the Aadhaar executive.
• Step 3: Make a 50 Rupee service fee payment.
• Step 4: Following the completion of the request, you will be given an Update Request Number (URN). You will receive an acknowledgement slip with the Update Request Number (URN). You can use the URN to find out the status of your update request.
• Step 5: Within 90 days, the Aadhaar database will be updated with your new mobile number.

In ideal cases, it may take up to 30 days for your mobile number to be changed in the Aadhaar database. That said, it won't take more than 90 days, as mentioned above. 

How to Check If The Aadhaar Card Mobile Number Has Been Updated

You can check if your new mobile number is linked with your Aadhaar in one of two ways, as follows:

Approach 1:

• Click "Verify an Aadhaar Number" on the Aadhaar Services page of the UIDAI website.
• To find out if your mobile number is linked with your Aadhaar, enter your Aadhaar number, enter the captcha, then click "Proceed And Verify Aadhaar."

Approach 2:

• Click "Verify Email/Mobile Number" on the Aadhaar Services section of the UIDAI website.
• Your Aadhaar number, mobile number, and captcha code must be entered after clicking Verify Mobile Number.
• To find out if your mobile number has been validated with UIDAI records, click "Send OTP."

The Aadhar database allows for unlimited mobile number changes, but each time you do so, you must pay the associated fee. A user who has an Aadhaar mobile number linked to their account can use the OTP to access online services and keep track of all the subsidies they have received and received in their bank account. 

All OTPs for Aadhaar will be delivered to this mobile number after it has been updated. You can also download your Aadhaar card online by entering this OTP at the UIDAI portal.
