Your mobile number is the key to almost every Aadhaar service online: OTPs for downloads, updates, DigiLocker, bank KYC and more. If you’ve changed your number, or never linked one, here are the two ways to update it: at an Aadhaar centre, or through UIDAI’s official Aadhaar app using face authentication.
UIDAI’s rate card charges ₹75 for a demographic update, which includes a mobile number change.
UIDAI’s official Aadhaar app now allows mobile number updates from home using OTP plus face authentication, where a live selfie is matched against your Aadhaar photo. Install the app only from the official Play Store or App Store listing by UIDAI, open the update option, and follow the prompts.
If your old registered number isn’t accessible, the app may direct you to a centre or other assisted service instead.
Use Verify Email/Mobile Number on myAadhaar, or check your update status with the URN.
The myAadhaar website doesn’t offer mobile number change. Use the official Aadhaar app (face authentication) or visit an Aadhaar centre.
No. Only biometric or face verification is needed.
Only use UIDAI’s official website and app. UIDAI never asks for your OTP over the phone.
