In such a situation, if you have changed your mobile number, then it is very important to update it in Aadhaar. Know here how to update mobile in Aadhaar. In most of the online services related to Aadhaar, identity verification is done through OTP i.e. one-time password. This OTP comes only to the mobile number that is linked to your Aadhaar card. If the number is old or closed, you will not be able to use these services. The government has also advised to update Aadhaar card information, especially the mobile number, after every 10 years.

Can mobile number be updated online?

The answer is, no. Mobile number cannot be updated online in Aadhaar as it requires biometric verification. For this, you will have to visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra. However, you can book an appointment online in advance so that you do not have to wait long at the centre.

It is being told that the authority has developed a new app based on QR code. Apart from this, about 2,000 out of one lakh Aadhar machines have been linked to the new app and tool. Now soon, apart from giving fingerprint and iris from home, all other work will be done through the app. This facility can be started by November 2025.

Other documents will also be linked to the system

Through new technology, this system will obtain address and other information from databases like birth certificate, matriculation certificate, driving license, passport, PAN, PDS and MNREGA. This will not only make document verification easier, but will also help in preventing the use of fake documents. It is being told that preparations are also underway to link electricity bills to this system.

There is no need to provide photocopies

Along with this, the new QR code based app will allow sending complete or summary information of Aadhaar from mobile to mobile or app to app. It will be used for many purposes. For example, this app can be used for verification while staying in hotels, getting a mobile SIM or during train travel. People will not need to give a photocopy of Aadhaar for this.

Details will not be shared without permission

The new app is being considered important to prevent misuse of Aadhaar. This app will allow the Aadhaar holder maximum control over his data and his Aadhaar details can be shared only with his consent. It can also be used by sub-registrar and registrar at the time of property registration.

Children’s details will also be updated

Apart from this, the authority is in talks with CBSE and other education boards for updating the biometrics of children . It is necessary to update the biometric data of children at the age of five to seven years and then at the age of 15 to 17 years. For this, the authority has prepared a special plan so that the update of about 18 crore children can be completed.
