Guide to Updating Your Aadhaar-Linked Phone Number
If you need to change the phone number linked to your Aadhaar card, you now have to go to a special center.
First, you schedule an appointment online through the UIDAI website.
Then you'll go to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra to update the information.
They will verify who you are using biometrics, and then the change can be made.
You will need to pay a small fee.
You can check the status of the update online later using a special number given to you.
Mobile number updates for Aadhaar must now be done in person.
Online updates are no longer available.
Book an appointment via the UIDAI website.
Aadhaar Seva Kendra visits are required for updates.
A fee of Rs 50 applies for the service.
