The move is expected to benefit millions of Aadhaar card holders who rely on the document for identity verification and access to a wide range of public and private services. Keeping the registered mobile number updated ensures seamless authentication and uninterrupted access to digital services.

Why Keeping Your Mobile Number Updated Is Important

An active mobile number linked to Aadhaar plays a crucial role in completing several everyday tasks. It is used for OTP-based verification while accessing banking services, government subsidies, pension schemes, tax filing, mobile SIM verification and digital platforms.


If the registered number is no longer in use, users may face difficulties in completing verification or receiving important alerts. Updating the number on time can help avoid unnecessary delays and service interruptions.

Step-By-Step Process To Update Your Mobile Number

The new Aadhaar app has simplified the entire process. Users first need to download the app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.


After installing the application, log in using your Aadhaar number. Once logged in, open the 'Services' section and choose the option to update your mobile number.

Enter the new mobile number that you want to register. After that, click on the 'Get OTP' option and enter the one-time password received on your phone to verify the number.

The next step involves face authentication, which is required to complete the identity verification process securely. Users must also pay a service fee of Rs 75 while submitting the request.

Once the application is successfully processed, the updated mobile number is expected to be reflected in Aadhaar records within a few days.
