Aadhaar-Mobile Linking 2026: Step-by-Step Guide to Link, Update, and Check Status Linking a mobile number to an Aadhaar card has become a critical requirement for accessing government services, updating personal details, and ensuring secure identity verification in India. As of 2026, the process for linking or updating a mobile number to an Aadhaar card must be completed offline, either at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or through designated postmen in specific regions. This guide outlines the steps, fees, and verification procedures for completing the process. To update or link a mobile number, individuals must visit their nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Permanent Enrolment Centre. At these centers, they will need to fill out an Aadhaar Correction Form, provide their current mobile number, and submit biometric details such as fingerprints or an iris scan for verification. A fee of approximately ₹50 is required for the update, and upon completion, an acknowledgment slip containing an Update Request Number (URN) will be issued. An alternative offline method is available in certain areas where postmen are equipped with electronic devices to facilitate digital updates. Residents in these regions can submit their mobile number updates through local postal services. However, this option is not universally available and depends on the specific location. Once the update is submitted, it typically takes up to 30 days for the changes to be processed. To verify the status of the Aadhaar-Mobile linkage, individuals can use the myAadhaar verification page on the official UIDAI portal. The process involves entering the 12-digit Aadhaar number, providing the mobile number, and clicking ‘Send OTP’ or ‘Submit.’ If the number is successfully linked, a confirmation message will be received.#uidai #aadhaar_seva_kendra #permanent_enrolment_centre #myaadhaar #1947
