According to the Indian government Aadhar card is a mandatory identification.
The reason of providing Aadhar card to the NRIs too, is the security. Each and every Indian Citizen, as well as NRIs have the full right on this Aadhar card, which is provided by the Indian Government.
The making procedure of Aadhar card is as same as the procedure for an Indian citizen. The needed documents have the differences from an Indian citizen and a NRI.

Sir, in aadhar cards issued on my name and my wife name in year 2011 has mentioned year of birth instead of date of birth. In fact I had submitted proof of our date of birth ( for both). But in aadhar cards issued after year 2012 clear date of birth is mentioned in all cards. Why so? Is it administrative deficiency or anomaly some how succeeded in aadhar card format? Please tell me how to correct it. Why these types of erroneous cards are not replaced by our government under self initiated action. You are requested to send me reply on my email ID: [email protected] without fail and delay.
