If you are an Indian living in UAE and wish to have Aadhaar as an identity proof, it is not difficult to get one if you have the required documents in order.
Linked to biometric data, Aadhaar is a centralised unique 12-digit number that can prove identity, age and address in India. While non-resident Indians (NRIs) can apply for an Aadhaar, they don’t necessarily need one. However, if they plan to return to India or stay in the country for an extended period, it could be useful for them in opening bank accounts, renting properties, other financial transactions and government processes.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has a provision of 'Aadhaar on Arrival' for NRIs. While an NRI can take the appointment for Aadhaar card issuance online or offline, they are required to be physically present in India to complete the biometric authentication.
