The Government of India has created an official website and app for Aadhaar, India’s national identification program. With these resources, users can make changes to their Aadhaar information, check its status, and verify it online. To use the Aadhaar website or app, however, you must have a mobile number registered with your Aadhaar. This is because a one-time password (OTP) is sent to the registered mobile number for authentication purposes.
Without a mobile number registered with your Aadhaar, you will be unable to access most online services provided via the portal or app. In this article, we will explain how to update and register a mobile number with your Aadhaar card.
How to Register Mobile Number with Aadhaar Card?
You can add or register your mobile number with your Aadhaar card by following the steps below:
