3. Create a new SMS or text message.
4. In the recipient field, type the Aadhaar card update service provider's number. The number may vary based on your telecom service provider, but commonly it is 1947.
5. In the message body, type "UIDAI" followed by a space.
6. Enter your Aadhaar number followed by a space.
7. Type your mobile number that you want to link to your Aadhaar card.
8. Double-check the message for accuracy and ensure that there are no typos or errors.
9. Send the SMS or text message to the provided number.
10. After sending the SMS, you should receive a confirmation message acknowledging the receipt of your request.
11. The mobile number linking process may take a few days to complete. Once the process is successful, you will receive a confirmation message on your mobile number.
Alternatively, you can also link your mobile number to your Aadhaar card through the official website of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) or by visiting an Aadhaar Enrolment Center in person.
