The shortest woman living (mobile) is Jyoti Amge (India, born 16 Dec 1993), who measured 62.8 cm (24.7 in) in Nagpur, India, on 16 December 2011.
Jyoti Amge was measured at the Wockhardt Superspeciality Hospital in Nagpur India on her 18th birthday making her eligible to take over this record from Bridgette Jordan. Jyoti Amge had previously held the title for the shortest teenager (female) living. “Getting this record has made me feel better about myself,” said Jyoti. “I feel popular, special and important.”
Indian student Jyoti Amge has been today been confirmed as the world’s shortest living woman by Guinness World Records. At 62.8cm (24.7in), is 7cm, she is shorter than previous title holder, American Bridgette Jordan.
Jyoti was an average-sized child until the age of 5. Then she didn’t grow much more. Ever. 
Jyoti has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia, and will never grow beyond a certain height. From the age of four, Jyoti attended school alongside all the other children her age, although she needed to use a desk and chair that was more her size. 
Back in 2009, she was found to be the shortest living teenager (female) after doctors measured her to be 61.95 cm (2 ft) tall. And at just 5.4 kg (12 lb), she weighed only 4 kg (9 lb) more than when she was born! 
Jyoti was just 15 at the time, but even then her bubbly personality stole the show. Like lots of teenage girls, she loved her fashion and make-up. She also had a dream – Jyoti wanted to be an actress.
