Q714. Aadhaar card Service Centres for OCI holders in Kerala . . .

Question: Dear Sir\Madam,

I am a Singapore Citizen and holding OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) Card.

I would like to apply for Aadhar card.

What documents should I submit for the application?

Should I submit any address proof for my address in India? For Indian address proof, I only have my SSLC Certificate.

My Birth Cert was issued by Indian high commission in Singapore, based on the particulars in my old Cancelled Indian

passport. Is this can be used as a proof.

Is there any Aadhar Card Service Centres for OCI holders, in Kerala?

If yes, can you give me the contact details?

Thanks and regards,

Sujith Bhasi.

About two years ago there was a push and a lot of advertisements for people to enroll for Aadhaar cards. Many temporary service centre’s were opened all across India. Now I find, that many such centre’s have closed and one has to try and find the Aadhaar enrollment location near them where they can apply. So you will have to check the Internet and when you come up with locations, confirm they are still open before going there.
