Keeping the mobile number up‑to‑date is essential for receiving OTPs, bank alerts, and accessing various government services. This article explains the official procedures—online via the UIDAI portal and offline through an Aadhaar Enrolment/Correction Centre—along with the required documents and useful tips.
