Now NRIs and OCI cardholders are eligible to obtain an Aadhaar Card given they fulfil certain criteria. The government of India has brought new Aadhaar rules to make it easier and simpler for them<\/strong>. Hence, Non-Resident Indians and Overseas Citizens of India are required to use specified forms to enroll for an Aadhaar Card. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) introduced separate forms for non-resident Indians under the Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Amendment Regulations, 2024 to eliminate confusion with resident Indians.<\/p>\n

First things first, is it mandatory for NRIs to have an Aadhaar Card? Well, all overseas Indians holding an Indian passport are eligible for the Aadhar program, but applying for the 12-digit Aadhar ID is an individual choice as far as non-residents are concerned. It must be noted that they need a valid identity proof issued by the Indian Government such as Aadhaar to make any financial transactions in the country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Aadhaar

PC: Businessleague.in<\/p><\/div>\n

As an NRI, if you seek Aadhaar for yourself or your minor children, you can apply any time you travel back to your homeland. You can visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra (service center) to complete the registration and biometric verification process. Your valid Indian passport is a sufficient proof of identity (in fact the only accepted ID proof) for Aadhaar enrolment<\/strong>. However, a birth certificate is a must for applicants born on or after October 1, 2023, as per India\u2019s new Aadhaar rules for NRIs.<\/p>\n

Also, the latest amendment necessitates periodic update of individual information on their Aadhar document. Once every 10 years, Aadhar holders including NRIs must update their current address and other information in the centralized database. You can now do this online (through official website or mobile app) or offline (at an Aadhar enrolment center) as per your convenience.<\/p>\n

New Aadhaar Enrolment\/Update Forms for NRIs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

UIDAI has introduced 9 forms for residents and overseas Indians. The form you need to fill for Aadhar enrolment\/update depends on whether your address is in India or outside the country and the age group you fall in.<\/p>\n

Form 1 and Form 3 are for applicants (both residents and non-residents) with a valid proof of address in India. Form 1 is the Aadhar enrolment\/update form for those above 18 years of age while Form 3 is for enrolling children aged between 5 and 18 years.<\/p>\n

Form 2 and Form 4 are specifically introduced for NRIs who apply for Aadhar enrolment\/update with an address proof outside of India. Form 2 is applicable for NRI adults and Form 4 is for NRI children aged between 5 and 18 years.<\/p>\n

You can also enroll children below 5 years and for this, you need to access separate forms – Form 5 (if the address is in India) and Form 6 (if the address is outside India).<\/p>\n

Aadhaar Forms for OCI Cardholders<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Earlier, Overseas Citizens of India were not eligible for an Aadhaar Card<\/strong>. After the government clarified that Aadhaar does not certify one\u2019s citizenship, OCIs have been added to the categories of overseas Indians eligible for Aadhaar. However, there is a condition. Minimum 182 days of stay in India in a calendar year is compulsory for OCI cardholders to apply for an Aadhaar Card.<\/p>\n

Applicants above 18 years, among OCI cardholders, should use Form 7 for Aadhaar enrolment. Form 8 is for OCI cardholders under 18 years. Their application without a valid email ID will be rejected.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And during the enrolment process, you must not fail to provide your email address. It must be noted that UIDAI doesn\u2019t support international numbers and thus you wouldn\u2019t receive any SMS\/text notification regarding your Aadhar if you provide a non-Indian phone number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
