Overview
Your mobile number linked to Aadhaar is critical for receiving OTPs, verifying identity, and accessing government services. If your registered mobile number has changed, is inactive, or was never added, you need to update it through UIDAI's official channels.
UIDAI provides two methods to update your Aadhaar mobile number: the online method via the myAadhaar portal (if you have access to your current registered number) and the offline method at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

Helpful Tips
Helpful Tips
- Always keep your Aadhaar URN (Update Request Number) safe — you need it to track the status of your update.
- Ensure your new mobile number is active and you have the SIM with you during the update process.
- Book an appointment online before visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra to avoid long queues.
- After the update is processed, download your updated e-Aadhaar from myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in to verify the change.
- If your update is rejected, check the reason on the UIDAI portal and resubmit with correct information.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Entering the wrong new mobile number — double-check before submitting.
- Visiting a centre without a valid identity proof — the update will be rejected.
- Not saving the URN/SRN after submission — you cannot track your request without it.
- Using third-party agents or websites claiming to update Aadhaar — use only official UIDAI channels.
- Expecting instant update — the process takes time; do not panic if your number is not updated immediately.
