To answer whether an NRI can avail Aadhar Card or not? Unique Identification Authority of India states that “As per the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016, only a resident who has resided in India for a period or periods amounting in all to 182 days or more in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of application for enrolment is eligible for Aadhaar.” So, if you fulfill these eligibility norms then here are the five steps that you need to follow to avail Aadhar Card:
Step 1. Visit the official website of UIDAI– https://uidai.gov.in/ – and find an enrolment center authorized by UIDAI to you.
Step 2. Fix an appointment online or visit the enrolment center directly with documents such as resident proof, birth certificate, and PAN card along with the Aadhaar card application form
Step 3. After verifying your submitted documents, the official at the enrolment center will take your biometric details (through fingerprint and iris scans).
Step 4. Once biometric details are taken, an NRI applicant will have his/her photograph taken by the web-camera at the enrolment center.
Step 5. An NRI will then receive an acknowledgment slip containing the Enrolment ID which is very useful in tracking the status of his/her application online by logging in with number on UIDAI website. It usually takes 60-90 days for the authorities to dispatch the Aadhar card.
