Aadhaar is a 12-digit number issued to each individual by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). It is an important document which is mandated by several organisations to access government-issued benefits and welfare schemes. Further, it also serves as an identity proof and an address proof for all services such as banking, admissions, driving license, passport, and various forms. Due to its vital importance, it is crucial to keep all of the information registered under Aadhaar up-to-date in order to mitigate discrepancies.

Whenever you enter your Aadhaar number into a portal, a one time password (OTP) is sent to your mobile number as a confirmation of your identity. However, it can be quite a hassle if you have moved to a new number and do not have it updated in the UIDAI database. To eliminate such potential instances, citizens are advised to keep the phone number registered with the government entity up-to-date.

So, here's a step-by-step guide for changing the phone number in an Aadhaar card. Do note that this process cannot be completed online. You will have to visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra to get the phone number changed in the database.
