The new Aadhaar app allows secure, fast, and convenient online updates to mobile numbers anytime.
Updating your Aadhaar mobile ensures uninterrupted access to OTPs, government services, banking, and online verifications.
Users can track update requests digitally, eliminating the need to visit enrolment centres physically.
Updating your Aadhaar details regularly is crucial, particularly your mobile number. This is because the number on your Aadhaar is how the Indian government connects many different services and processes, also completing secure One-Time Passwords for any online transaction with any bank or verifying the mobile number on your Aadhaar.
The good news is that with the introduction of the new Aadhaar app, updating your mobile number online is faster and easier than ever before; you no longer need to go to an enrolment facility. Below are the step-by-step processes of updating your mobile number and getting it right the first time!
The most important reason to update your Aadhaar details is to keep your Aadhaar up-to-date and connected to government services, financial transactions, and online verification processes, without hassle or long delays.
Updating your mobile number has never been easier; with the new Aadhaar app, you no longer need to visit an enrolment centre for simple updates.
The mobile number updating process has become very secure as the application allows users to update their numbers, track requests, and receive confirmation digitally. Without this app, you will not be able to receive OTPs, and other Aadhaar-linked services and subsidies will be cut off.

Initially, you have to download the official Aadhaar app to your smartphone, accessible on both Android and iOS devices. Once you start the app, complete the initial setup by selecting your preferred language, and then log in using OTP.
Once the app is open, tap the button labeled ‘Update Aadhaar Details’. At that time, you will need to indicate your Aadhaar number or VID.
As soon as you provide the necessary information, an OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number for authentication. If your number is outdated, you may proceed with biometric verification or visit the nearest Aadhaar enrolment centre to initiate the OTP.
Among the update options, select the 'Mobile Number' one. The app will prompt you to type the new mobile number that you want to associate with your Aadhaar. Always double-check the number to confirm if it is right; any errors in the mobile number input may slow the update process.
You may be prompted during the application process to confirm your identity via OTP or fingerprint verification. Generally, changes to your mobile number do not require any supporting document(s); however, please ensure that the information on your Aadhaar matches the information on file with the respective governments.
Before clicking ‘Submit’, make sure you have carefully checked your entered mobile number for accuracy. After confirming the submission, you will see a UR (Update Request) number being generated. Take a note of this number to track the status of your mobile number updates.
You can determine your request status through this app by entering your UR number. Usually, the complete service updating process takes around 7 days, after which your new mobile number will be successfully linked to your Aadhaar. A confirmation SMS will be sent to you once the update has been processed through the system.
