All Indian citizens must have an Aadhaar Card, a 12-digit unique identification number, in order to participate in government programs and conduct high-value transactions. In order to guarantee the safety of the Aadhaar Card, the UIDAI frequently updates its regulations.
When visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra in India, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can easily apply for their Aadhaar Card. A valid Indian passport and the completion of an enrollment form at the center are required for the procedure. NRIs are required to provide personal information and complete a biometric process, which includes providing proof of identity.
A step-by-step guide to getting your Aadhaar Card as an NRI is provided below:
- Bring your Indian passport to the Aadhaar center that is closest to you.
- Complete the enrollment form with your email address.
- Read the form carefully and sign it.
- Along with proof of your identity, hand the enrollment form to the operator.
- Finish the biometric procedure.
- Before sending the information to the operator, check the information on the screen.
- Keep the receipt with the date, time stamp, and the 14-digit enrollment ID.
Important prerequisites:
Indian passport, ID for the email, Identity verification
Your Aadhaar Card will be produced and sent to you via email or postal mail. To apply for their Aadhaar Card, your spouse who is an NRI must have an Indian passport.
Note: In order to ensure that you have seamless access to government programs and transactions, it is essential to update your Aadhaar Card. It’s also important to remember that NRIs can enroll for an Aadhaar card in the same way Indian citizens do.
The only difference is that NRIs must show proof of identity in the form of their Indian passport. The non-resident Indian will receive a UIDAI-issued 12-digit Aadhaar number after completing the enrollment process.
