Aadhaar Update: The Aadhaar card is considered one of the most important documents in the country. Without an Aadhaar card, you are unable to perform many banking and non-banking transactions. It’s important to note that some foreign nationals were previously issued Aadhaar cards incorrectly as Indian residents. Now, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is providing these individuals with the facility to change their Aadhaar status to Foreign National. The objective is to correct citizenship and residency information and keep government records updated.

Important points to keep in mind
An Aadhaar card issued to foreign nationals does not grant Indian citizenship or permanent residency rights.
Aadhaar is solely for identification purposes and is issued only to those who have resided in India for at least 182 days in the preceding 12 months.
The validity of the Aadhaar is linked to the individual’s visa status.
It is crucial to update Aadhaar details promptly to avoid discrepancies.
Accurate Aadhaar data facilitates access to government and other services and ensures compliance with regulations.
