To change or update your mobile number in your Aadhaar card, you must follow an offline process as online updating of mobile numbers has been discontinued by UIDAI. Here is the step-by-step procedure:
How to Change Mobile Number in Aadhaar Card
- Visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Aadhaar Enrolment Centre in person. You can find the nearest centre on the UIDAI website.
- Fill out the Aadhaar Update/Correction Form available at the centre. You may also download and fill it beforehand.
- Authenticate your identity through biometric verification (fingerprint or iris scan) at the centre.
- Pay a fee of Rs. 50 for the update service.
- Submit the form and biometric authentication to the Aadhaar official.
- You will receive an acknowledgement slip containing an Update Request Number (URN).
- The mobile number update typically takes 10 to 30 days to reflect in the Aadhaar database.
- You can check the status of your update request online on the UIDAI website using the URN.
Additional Details
- No documents are required to update the mobile number; carrying your Aadhaar card is sufficient.
- You cannot update the mobile number online directly because biometric authentication is mandatory.
- You can book an appointment online via the UIDAI website before visiting the Aadhaar Seva Kendra to save time.
- Once updated, you will receive a confirmation SMS on your new mobile number.
This offline process ensures secure verification and update of your mobile number linked to Aadhaar
