How to check mobile number linked to your Aadhaar card online

Aadhaar, the 12-digit unique identification number, is a crucial document for a citizen to establish his or her identity in India. It is required for various purposes like opening a bank account, applying for a passport, booking e-tickets, sourcing government services and more. When you have an Aadhaar card, it's important to have your mobile number registered with it. This ensures that you can receive the one-time password (OTP) required for verification.

The official website of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) states, "You can verify your email address and mobile number that has been declared at the time of enrolment or during the latest Aadhaar detail update."
