Linking your current mobile number to Aadhaar is crucial for accessing government schemes, banking services, and online verification. If your number has changed or is inactive, here’s the complete process to update it safely.
🏦 1. Why Updating Your mobile Number Matters
- Receive OTPs for banking and government services
- Avail benefits under PM-KISAN, LPG subsidy, and other schemes
- Ensure seamless online verification for PAN, tax filing, and more
Without a linked mobile number, many services cannot be completed digitally.
🖥️ 2. Update via Aadhaar Self-Service Portal (SSUP)
The official uidai website allows partial updates:
Visit https://ssup.uidai.gov.in/
Enter your Aadhaar number and OTP received on the registered mobile (if available)
Select “Update mobile Number”
Submit the new mobile number and upload supporting documents (if required)
Receive confirmation and reference number to track the request
🏢 3. Update Through Aadhaar Enrollment/Update Centers
If online update isn’t possible:
Locate your nearest Aadhaar Enrollment/Update Center
Carry original Aadhaar card and a valid proof of identity (POI)
Fill the Mobile Number Update Form at the center
Provide biometric verification (fingerprint/iris scan)
Collect acknowledgment slip with the update request number
⏳ 4. Processing Time
- Online or offline update usually takes 7–10 working days
- You will receive SMS confirmation once your mobile number is updated
🔍 5. Check Updated mobile Number Status
- Visit UIDAI website → Check Aadhaar Update Status
- Enter your Aadhaar number and Update Request Number (URN)
- Track progress and confirm the update
💡 6. Important Tips
- Ensure your new mobile number is active and accessible
- Only use official uidai portals or authorized centers to avoid scams
- Keep URN safely to track the update
