Your Aadhaar card mobile number is used for receiving OTPs for banking, government services, e-KYC and other related services. If you get a new number or lose the old number, you have to update it. It is important to know how to change mobile number in Aadhaar so these services keep working for you. You can do this on the Aadhaar App or by going to an Aadhaar Center. Here is the full process in easy steps.
Anyone who has an Aadhaar can update their mobile number either by using the official Aadhaar app or by visiting an Aadhaar centre. The process can be done by children as well, but in the presence of parents or guardians. This can be done by children as well, provided a parent or guardian is present. For the app way, you need the old number still working. For the centre way, you just need to prove it is you with biometric authentication. There is no extra age rule beyond normal Aadhaar rules.
If you never put any mobile number on your Aadhaar before, the app will not work. You have to go to a centre to add a number the first time.
When you only want to change the mobile number, you mostly need nothing extra.
No other papers are needed if you are only changing the mobile number.
This will work only if your mobile number is registered with Aadhaar and you can receive messages on it (or you have set up the app to verify your mobile number with an OTP).
Most update requests get completed within 30 days. Check the status on the myAadhaar site with the SRN or look in the app.
Go to an official Aadhaar Seva Kendra or update centre if the app way does not work for you.
The request gets done the same way as the app, usually in 30 days. You get an SMS when it is finished.
The official fee for changing the mobile number alone is ₹75. It is the same for the app and the centre. The fee already has all taxes in it.
If you also update your photo, fingerprints or eye scan at the same time, the mobile number part costs nothing extra, but the centre charges ₹125 for the biometric part. So you pay ₹125 total. Do not give any money to anyone. In case of any request for more money, call UIDAI helpline number 1947 and inform them.

You cannot use the Aadhaar app if the old number does not get OTPs anymore. The same thing happens if you never linked a number before. In both cases you have to go to an Aadhaar centre. Take your real Aadhaar card, give the new number, do the fingerprint or eye check, pay ₹75, and take the paper slip. After the new number is linked, you start getting OTPs on it and can use the app later.
With the new number you get OTPs for banking, UPI or even any government website without any trouble. You can download the e-Aadhaar, lock or unlock your biometrics, create Virtual ID, do e-KYC for SIM or Bank account. It also allows you to receive official messages and prevents others from misusing your old number. Keeping your number safe allows to protect important information and do several activities online and offline efficiently.
Updating mobile number on Aadhaar is simple process if you know the right procedure. It is advisable to use the Official Aadhaar app to update your mobile number where the number is already registered and active. Go to a centre if you lost the old number or are putting a mobile number for the first time. Always save the SRN or URN so you can check the request on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in or by calling 1947. When the update is done, check that the new number works by using the “Verify Mobile” option on the official site. Keep it updated, and your services will run fine.
If old number still works, use Aadhaar app. If not, take your card and go to any Aadhaar centre.
Yes, but only through Aadhaar app and only when old number still gets OTP.
No. Only one mobile number can stay linked at one time.
Just go to Aadhaar centre. They check biometric authentication and change it.
Go to myAadhaar website and select Verify Mobile option. Fill the details to check if new number is linked or not.
There is no limit. You can change it as per the requirement. But you have to pay change charges for that.
Then visit the Aadhaar centre and ask to link your number and Aadhaar. Complete scanning of your biometrics.
You cannot directly delink, instead you have to add a new number to replace the previous one.
It is not mandatory, but many services require to enter your Aadhaar number to send OTP over phone.
It costs about ₹75 on both app and centres.
