How to Update Mobile Number and Address in Aadhaar
In India, the Aadhaar card is the basis of every citizen’s identity. Sometimes, even a small error in Aadhaar can take days to complete. But now, all those difficulties are about to end. UIDAI has announced that it will soon introduce a new mobile-based update feature that will allow you to update your address and mobile number from your smartphone, without having to visit a center or stand in long queues.
The new Aadhaar app will offer users these benefits.
This change is a welcome relief for millions of citizens who frequently change their addresses or contact numbers due to job, rent, education, or other reasons. Now, simply open the Aadhaar app, enter the required information, enter the OTP or face verification, and your Aadhaar will be updated. This feature will not only save users time and effort, but will also make it easier to keep updated on government services, banking, and SIM connections.
A new way to update your address and phone number using the Aadhaar App
The new Aadhaar App released by UIDAI now allows users to update their address and phone number from the comfort of their homes. Previously, this feature was only available through the website or Aadhaar Center, but now it can be easily done through the mobile app. The new process is completely digital and is completed through OTP and face authentication, eliminating the need to carry paper, forms, or photocopies. The app can be downloaded by scanning the QR code in the app. UIDAI has also sought feedback from initial users.
