New Delhi: Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has allowed residents to verify their mobile numbers and email IDs seeded with their Aadhaar.
UIDAI had learnt that in some instances, residents were not aware/sure about which of their mobile numbers is seeded to their Aadhaar. Hence residents were worried that Aadhaar OTP might be going to some other mobile number. Now, with this facility, they can check this quite easily.
The facility can be availed under ‘Verify email/mobile Number’ feature on the official website (https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/) or through the Aadhaar App. It has been developed for the residents to verify that their own email/mobile number is seeded with their respective Aadhaar, according to an official statement.
This feature gives confirmation to residents that the email/mobile numbers under his/her knowledge are only seeded to respective Aadhaar. It also notifies the resident in case a particular mobile number is not linked, and informs them to take necessary steps to update the mobile number, if they wish so.
In case the mobile number is already verified residents will see a message like, ‘the mobile number you have entered is already verified with our records’, displayed on their screen.
In case a resident does not remember the mobile number, she/he has given during enrolment she/he can check the last three digits of the mobile on Verify Aadhaar feature on the Myaadhaar portal or Aadhaar App.
If residents want to link their email/mobile number with Aadhaar or their email/mobile number, they can visit the nearest Aadhaar centre.
