Many of my readers ask me this question, can you apply for the Aadhaar card online? Can you apply for Aadhaar card outside of India, or do NRIs are even eligible for Aadhaar card or not. One of the key things to remember that NRIs are not eligible for the Aadhaar card because they are not currently staying in India, they can only apply for it when they become Indian residents. Similarly, you cannot apply for the Aadhaar card online, you must go to the Aadhaar help center to apply because you also need to give your biometric data like fingerprints, thumb impression, and retina print.
