Hi I'm a foreign national (Canadian) and I hold an OCI card (Overseas Citizenship of India) and a Canadian passport. Am I eligible for applying for Aadhar card?

Any resident of India, Non Resident Indian (NRI) or any foreign citizen residing in India can apply for Aadhaar. Since Aadhaar is meant for establishing unique identity and not for granting citizenship, even NRIs and foreign citizen residing in India can enjoy the benefits of Aadhaar. However, they all must have to go through the verification process as carried out by the UIDAI. Their physical presence is must for giving their demographic and biometric information.
