How to Update Mobile Number in Aadhaar Card: More than 1.3 billion Indians rely on Aadhaar for everything from opening bank accounts to applying for loans. Aadhaar cards are used everywhere. Today, this document has become a unique identity for us Indians. Without it, you cannot book tickets or even get admission to a college or university. Aadhaar cards are also updated from time to time. The most important update among these is the mobile number. Many people have someone else's mobile number linked to their Aadhaar. In such a case, it is very important to add your own mobile number to your Aadhaar card.

Outdated Aadhaar information can create significant obstacles. For example, if someone else's number is linked to your Aadhaar, the OTP might go to them. Therefore, updating it is essential.

Is adding a mobile number to the Aadhaar card free?
If you only want to make one change in your Aadhaar card, which is just the mobile number, then you will have to pay a fee. According to UIDAI, you will have to pay a fee of Rs. 75 to change your mobile number in your Aadhaar card.

However, if you are doing a demographic update, such as a fingerprint or iris update, and also changing your mobile number at the same time, then in this case you will not have to pay any fee for changing the mobile number. It will be completely free.

How to change your mobile number in your Aadhaar card?
Download the Aadhaar app on your smartphone – Android (Google Play Store) or iOS (Apple App Store).
Once on the app, select 'Update Mobile Number' – this option has been made live.
Enter your updated phone number, and the app will send you a one-time password (OTP) to the new number and request face authentication to verify your identity.
Once the verification process is complete, your linked phone number will be updated in the Aadhaar records.
