Additionally, identification and residence proof documents will be updated only on payment of the requisite fee.What is Aadhaar?It is a 12-digit unique identification number that can be obtained voluntarily by citizens of India; the facility was launched in January 2009 with the establishment of the UIDAI. A non-resident Indian (NRI), whether adult or minor, and holding a valid Indian passport, can also apply for this unique ID.Aadhaar establishes identification through the iris, fingerprint and photographs.
