How to Verify Mobile Number and Email ID Linked With Aadhaar Card: Step-by-Step Guide

New Delhi, January 15: Aadhaar has become one of the most important identity documents in India. It is widely used for banking, government welfare schemes, mobile number verification, income tax filing, and several other essential services.

To use Aadhaar-related services smoothly, it is crucial that your mobile number and email ID linked with Aadhaar are correct and active. Your registered mobile number is required to receive one-time passwords (OTPs) for Aadhaar authentication, while your email ID helps in receiving alerts, acknowledgements, and important updates.

If these details are outdated or incorrect, you may face difficulties while accessing Aadhaar-based services. The UIDAI provides a simple online facility to verify whether your mobile number and email ID are linked with Aadhaar. Aadhaar Reforms Announced: UIDAI Rolls Out Aadhaar Update System With Revised Service Fee Structure, Digital KYC and More; Check Details.

Why Is It Important to Verify Mobile Number and Email With Aadhaar?

Verifying your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and email ID ensures that you receive OTPs and notifications from UIDAI on time. It also helps prevent misuse of Aadhaar and keeps your personal information secure.

Most government and financial services require Aadhaar-based authentication. Without a linked and verified mobile number, many online Aadhaar services may not function properly. UIDAI Launches 'Udai', Official Aadhaar Mascot, to Boost Public Awareness of Aadhaar Services.
