Learn how to easily update your phone number in Aadhaar card online
Delhi : The Aadhaar card's contents, including address, phone number, photo, and other information, must be kept current in order to maintain accuracy and security, according to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Most Aadhaar information can be updated online, however there are several crucial ones that can only be done offline. Aadhaar enrollment centres must be visited in order to update biometrics and other information; online changes are only permitted for specific details. How to update your phone number on your Aadhaar card is explained here.
To enroll in Aadhaar or update demographic information (such as name, address, date of birth, gender, cellphone number, and email) if it is out-of-current, people must go to an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre, per UIDAI's guidelines. Aadhaar information must be updated, especially the biometrics of children who have reached the age of 15.
