Many Aadhaar-related services, such as online KYC, bank verification, PAN linking, DigiLocker access, and government subsidy authentication, require an active mobile number linked to your Aadhaar card. However, many users lose access to their registered mobile numbers due to SIM deactivation, number changes, or lost phones. In such situations, completing OTP verification becomes impossible, making online Aadhaar updates difficult.

According to UIDAI guidelines, you cannot change your Aadhaar mobile number online without OTP verification. However, users can still update or change their mobile number by visiting an authorized Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Enrollment Center and completing biometric authentication. This offline process is simple, secure, and does not require access to the old mobile number. In this guide, learn the complete step-by-step process, required documents, fees, update time, and important details for changing your Aadhaar mobile number without OTP.
