For years, people were routinely asked to submit photocopies of their Aadhaar card while buying a SIM card, checking into hotels, opening bank accounts, applying for government schemes or completing rental agreements.
This often meant sharing more personal information than necessary.
The new Aadhaar App focuses on digital verification instead of physical document sharing. Users can verify their identity digitally while sharing only the information required for a particular service. This helps improve privacy and reduces unnecessary sharing of Aadhaar copies.
Can you update your mobile number through the Aadhaar App?
Yes, but only in certain situations.
According to UIDAI, you can update your mobile number through the Aadhaar App if your existing registered mobile number is already linked to Aadhaar and is still available with you.
Since the process requires OTP verification, users must have access to their currently registered number.
However, if you have lost your registered mobile number or never linked one with Aadhaar, you cannot complete the update through the app.
In such cases, you must visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or an authorised Aadhaar enrolment and update centre to complete the process.
