UIDAI issued a notification to amend the Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Rules. The UIDAI has released new forms for the resident individuals and non-resident individuals (NRIs) for Aadhaar enrolment or updation purposes. Here is everything you need to know According to the new rules, an Aadhaar card holder can now update information via online or offline mode.
The information update to the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) can be done either by visiting the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or via Mobile application and UIDAI website. The old 2016 rules provided only for updation of addresses in online mode. For other details updation, Aadhaar number holder was required to visit the enrolment centre.
Experts say that since the new rules mention no restrictions, an Aadhaar card holder will be able to update mobile number online as well. The current forms for enrolment for Aadhaar and updation of Aadhaar details have been replaced with new ones. Form 1 will be used by resident individuals and non-resident individuals (having proof of Address in India) aged 18 years and above for Aadhaar enrolment.
The Form 1 can also be used to update other details if the individual already possess an Aadhaar card For NRI who have address proof outside India, Form 2 will be used for enrolment and updation. Form 3 is to be used for the enrolment of children (resident or NRI having Indian address) aged between 5 years and above but less than 18 years. Form 4 is to be used for NRI children having addresses outside India.
