I think one password field is enough. If you want to check the user's twice password input is same, do it in the front-end. You can override a create method from serializer like following.

from rest_framework import serializers

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    password = serializers.CharField(write_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'mobile', 'password')

    def create(self, validated_data):
        user = super(UserSerializer, self).create(validated_data)
        user.set_password(validated_data['password'])
        user.save()
        return user

views.py

from rest_framework import generics
from rest_framework.permissions import AllowAny
from .models import User
from .serializers import UserSerializer

class UserCreateAPIView(generics.CreateAPIView):
    queryset = User.objects.all()
    serializer_class = UserSerializer
    permission_classes = (AllowAny,)
