GET IT ON ARRIVAL
NRIs can apply for Aadhaar without 182-day waiting period

New Delhi:24.09.2019

Non-resident Indians (NRIs) with valid Indian passport can apply for Aadhaar on arrival, without the 182-day waiting period, with the government issuing a notification in this regard.

Following the notification, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has also come out with a circular stating that “NRI after his arrival  in India, shall be entitled to obtain Aadhaar number”.

The modalities for application remain more or less unchanged, a UIDAI source said adding that NRIs with Indian passport can now apply for biometric ID on arrival or by scheduling a prior appointment.

UIDAI circular said valid Indian passport will be accepted as proof of identity, proof of address (PoA) and date of birth document. “In case NRI’s passport does not have Indian address, he shall be allowed to submit any of the other UIDAIapproved PoA documents as proof of address,” said the circular issued on Monday.
