How to link your mobile number with Adhaar card
If you want to link your mobile number with Aadhaar, there can be two scenarios:
1. You are linking it for the first time;
This needs to be done offline. Visit your nearest Aadhaar centre to get the Aadhar Update/Correction Form or download it from the UIDAI website. Fill out the form correctly; submit it to the concerned person at the centre.
2. You have changed your mobile number and want to update your Aadhaar data by replacing the old number with the new one.
- Visit online your telecom service provider website and link your mobile number.
- Visit your telecom service provider's nearest retail store.
- Through IVR by dialing 14546.
Here's how the IVRS-based Aadhaar authentication through helpline 14546 works:
Once you call the toll-free helpline 14546, the IVR system asks you whether you are an Indian citizen or an NRI. The caller is to provide response 1 in case of Indian citizen.
The caller is then asked to enter his or her 12-digit Aadhaar number.
The IVRS then repeats the number entered and asks the caller to confirm by pressing response 1.
After this step, an OTP or One-Time PIN is sent to the registered mobile number.
The IVR system asks the caller to give consent to the telecom operator to pick his or her name, photo and date of birth from the UIDAI database.
The caller is asked to enter the OTP in the next step.
The caller is asked to press 1 to complete the Aadhaar-mobile number re-verification process.
