Chandigarh, January 20

With new guidelines for enrollment and updating of Aadhar cards, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has issued separate forms for the resident Indians and NRIs.

According to a ‘The Economic Times’ report, the new changes are referred to as the Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Amendment Regulations, 2024.

The new guidelines have been brought to make the enrollment process more accessible for residents and non-residents alike.

As per the new rules, Aadhaar card information can now be updated in the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) by visiting the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or via the Mobile application and UIDAI website.

Now, Form 1 will be used for the Aadhaar card enrollment of both resident Indians and NRIs (18 years of age and older with evidence of address in India). The same group of people can update their Aadhaar details using the same form.

Form 2 will be for NRIs having address proof outside India.

Form 3 will be used to enrol children aged between 5 years and above but less than 18 years (resident or NRI having permanent Indian address).

Form 4 will be used for NRI children having addresses outside of India.

Form 5 will be used for residents or NRI children (having Indian address) below 5 years of age.

Form 6 will be used for NRI children (with outside India address) below 5 years of age.

Form 7 will be used by a resident foreign national above 18 years of age.

Form 8 will be for resident foreign nationals below 18 years of age.
