content:Tired of Long Lines? Update Aadhaar Mobile Number at Home
Tired of waiting in endless lines at Aadhaar centers to update your mobile number? Good news: you can now do it from your couch using the official Aadhaar Beta app. This guide is based on a detailed video tutorial, and I’ll break down each step to make the process smooth and secure.
Why Updating Your Aadhaar Mobile Number Matters
Your linked mobile number is the backbone of Aadhaar services. It’s required for OTP verification for banking, government schemes, and even Aadhaar updates. According to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), keeping your number current is mandatory to access most online Aadhaar features.

Let’s walk through the exact process from the video, with added tips to avoid mistakes:
1. Download the Official Aadhaar Beta App
Open the Play Store, search for “Aadhaar Beta” (the official government app with a 4.1 rating and 1M+ downloads). Install it—no need to worry about security, as it’s UIDAI-approved.
2. Verify Your Aadhaar Number
Launch the app and grant necessary permissions (like camera access). Enter your Aadhaar number, then tap “Continue.” Verify your identity via OTP sent to your current linked mobile number.
3. Complete Face Authentication
Follow the prompts for face verification. Key tip: Remove glasses and stand in well-lit area. Blink when prompted to ensure successful authentication.
4. Set a Secure PIN
Create a 6-digit PIN to lock the app. This PIN ensures only you can access your Aadhaar details later.
5. Initiate Mobile Number Update
Go to the “My Aadhaar Update” section and select “Mobile Number Update.” Enter your new mobile number and tap “Send OTP” to verify it.
6. Re-Verify with Face Auth
Complete another face authentication to confirm the update request. This adds an extra layer of security.
7. Pay the Processing Fee
You’ll need to pay ₹75 (the official UIDAI fee) using digital payment methods like UPI or credit card. The fee is non-refundable, so double-check your new number first.
8. Submit and Track Your Request
Once payment is done, submit your request. UIDAI will process it within 7 days. You can track the status via the app or UIDAI’s official website.

Avoid Scams: Use Only Official Tools
Never use third-party apps for Aadhaar updates—they may steal your personal data. Stick to the Aadhaar Beta app or UIDAI’s official portal (uidai.gov.in).
Post-Update Tips
After submitting your request, keep an eye on your new mobile number for updates. Once approved, your Aadhaar will reflect the new number in 7 days.
