Overview
- UIDAI says Aadhaar holders will soon change registered mobile numbers and residential addresses in the official app without visiting centres.
- The process will authenticate identity through an OTP sent to the existing or new number followed by live face matching.
- Users will enter their Aadhaar number, choose a language, and set a six-digit PIN to secure their in-app profile.
- The features are not live yet, with UIDAI urging downloads of the Aadhaar app on Android and iOS ahead of a rollout announced on X.
- The shift targets easier access for seniors, people with disabilities, and residents in remote or rural areas who struggle to reach enrolment centres.
