How to connect aadhaar card with mobile number?
I recently linked my Aadhaar with my Jio number, and here's what the experience was like:
- Documents needed: Just your Aadhaar card - no other documents required
- Process time: About 15-20 minutes at the store
- Biometric authentication: Quick fingerprint scan
- Confirmation: Received SMS within 2 hours
Important tip: Make sure your mobile number is already registered with Aadhaar. If not, you need to update that first at an Aadhaar Enrollment Center. Also, carry the SIM card in the phone you take to the store - they often send an OTP to verify. The process is now standardized across all telecom providers following Supreme Court guidelines. Pretty hassle-free overall!
Linking your Aadhaar with your mobile number is pretty straightforward! Here's the step-by-step process:
- Visit your mobile service provider's store (Airtel, Jio, Vi, etc.)
- Carry your Aadhaar card and the mobile phone with the number you want to link
- Provide your biometric authentication - they'll have a device for fingerprint/iris scan
- Fill out the application form if required
- You'll receive a confirmation SMS once the linking is complete
The entire process is free of charge and usually completed within a few hours. Make sure your mobile number is already updated in Aadhaar records before attempting this linkage. You can't do this online anymore - physical presence is mandatory for security reasons.
