How can a NRI apply for Aadhar Card (UID)?

An Aadhar Card is available to everyone including NRIs now. It can serve as an Identity Proof document for those who have it. If you are an NRI and you wish to apply for an Aadhar card, here are the steps you will have to take…

  1. The first thing that you will need is an ID proof document. Your passport copy or any valid government ID from any country will work. If you are not yet a citizen of that country, you must provide proof of why you are residing outside of India. For example: an employer certificate.
  2. The second thing that will be asked of you would be the necessary forms to apply for an Aadhar Card. You can find the correct form by typing “Aadhar Form” into the search engine on your computer. You will need to submit this form.
  3. The forth thing that will be asked of you would be your fingerprint and a scanning of your eyes. You will need to let them scan your fingerprints and eyes so that they can have it on file. This is the best way to have a true ID proof.
  4. After you have completed all the above, you will be asked to have your photo taken. It is generally a passport size/style photo that will be taken so everyone will know how to identify you. They will also keep this photo on file.

Once you have completed all of the above steps, all you have to do is wait to receive the card in the mail. It generally takes anywhere from 1 to 3 months to receive.
