Aadhaar Mobile Number Registration vs Mobile Number Update

Documents Required to Link Mobile Number to Aadhaar Card

No supporting documents are generally required to register or update a mobile number in Aadhaar. Applicants need to provide their Aadhaar number and complete biometric or identity verification at the Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

Charges for Linking Aadhaar Card with Mobile Number

Linking a mobile number during Aadhaar enrolment is free. However, any subsequent mobile number registration, update, or change is treated as a demographic update and attracts a fee of ₹75.

Processing Time to Link Mobile Number to Aadhaar Card

It usually takes 10 to 30 days for a mobile number registration or update request to be processed and reflected in Aadhaar records.

First-time mobile number registration with Aadhaar must be completed offline by visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Aadhaar Enrolment Centre, as it requires biometric authentication. However, existing registered mobile numbers can be updated or changed online through the official Aadhaar mobile app using Face Authentication, or offline by visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

Who Needs to Link or Check Aadhaar-Mobile?

It is not mandatory to provide a mobile number for Aadhaar enrollment. However, it is recommended to link your mobile number while enrolling for an Aadhaar card since it allows you to verify your identity, perform security checks, receive Aadhaar-based OTP for verification and protect yourself from fraud. 

You should link or check your Aadhaar-mobile status if you:

• Use Aadhaar-based OTP services
• Need e-KYC for banks, SIM cards, loans, insurance, or government schemes
• Want to update Aadhaar details online
• Have changed your mobile number recently
• Are unsure whether a mobile number is already linked

A registered mobile number enables access to several Aadhaar online services and OTP-based authentication. You can check whether your mobile number is linked with Aadhaar through UIDAI's verification service and update it through the Aadhaar App in eligible cases.
