Mobile Number Link to Aadhar Card online
Earlier, there was an argument that linking mobile number with Aadhaar would ensure that all the mobile numbers in the country are verified. The idea was that verification would have helped to weed out illegally obtained numbers. However, Aadhaar is no longer being used for mobile number verification.
Steps to Link Aadhaar Card with Mobile Number
Telecom operators used a few methods to complete the Aadhaar and SIM linking. The methods included verification via OTP (one-time password), agent assisted authentication, and IVR facility. Besides, individuals could also choose to visit the mobile stores to register their biometrics and complete the linking process.
Linking Aadhaar with SIM for New Users
Users who wanted a new SIM needed to visit the nearest store of their mobile operators like Vodafone, Idea, etc. to get a new SIM with Aadhaar. Here are the steps that had to be followed for completing this process.
Step 1: Visit the mobile operator's store
Step 2: Request for a new SIM
Step 3: Provide copy of Aadhar for ID proof and address proof
Step 4: Use the Biometric Scanner to scan fingerprint and verify Aadhar
Step 5: New SIM would be issued after completion of the verification process
Step 6: SIM would be activated approximately in an hour
Verify Mobile Number with Aadhaar Through OTP
The OTP-based method was used to verify mobile numbers online and offline. In both the methods, the subscribers would receive an OTP on the registered mobile number. Below-mentioned are both the methods.
