What are the Aadhar Enrollment and Update Rules for NRIs?

An Aadhaar for NRIs is a 12-digit unique identification number issued by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) to an NRI (Non-Resident Indian). An individual's biometric and demographic details are used to issue the card.

An NRI needs an Aadhaar card to make financial and government-related transactions in India. It includes opening bank accounts, filing income tax, and even purchasing a property. Unlike residents, NRIs don't need to fulfill the 182-day residency requirements to apply for an Aadhaar card.
