Updating your Aadhaar card is important because the card could replace your regular debit or credit cards very soon.

The Aadhaar Enabled Payments System (AEPS) is currently in its initial stages. You can use your Aadhaar card to authorize payments that will require your biometrics – fingerprint and Iris scan.

The Aadhar card helped pave the way for digital payments in India. Aadhar card moved India towards the cashless economy we are today.

      A page with title “Aadhar Self Service Update Portal” will open.
      Enter your 12 digit Aadhar number.
      Now enter the Text Verification number (already shown on page – also known as Captcha).
      Then click on Send OTP.
      On the next page, enter the OTP that was sent to your existing mobile number.
      After that, a new page asking for Details to be Updated will appear.
      Under “Select field(s) to update“, select “Mobile Number:“

  12. Just want to inform the readers of this blog post that there are several FAKE UIDAI portals running which claim to update your aadhar card but in reality, they collect your information and sell it to third party parties! So I recommend you to use just official portal provided by government of India and stay safe!

    1. Hi Rathod,

      Your question is not clear. I think you are question is how to update your mobile number registered with aadhar card. If this true, then visit the uidai portal, there you will be able to update your personal details.

      Thanks,
      Krishna
