Aadhaar For Children Below The Age of 5. Details Here

Comments

In case you have got the aadhaar card made, it may be the time for applying for aadhaar for your little ones. If your child is upto the age of five years, you should go to an aadhaar centre for the same. Since the child's aadhaar is meant to be linked to the parent's, you must carry your own aadhaar card and take the child with you. It must be noted that the biometrics are not developed for the children before five years of age. The biometric details include fingerprints and the iris scan.

However, once the child crosses five, the biometrics will have to be updated. Your Aadhaar, along with the child's birth certificate, is enough to enroll your child for Aadhaar. The various documents that can be used as the date of birth include passport, PAN card, Central/State Pension Payment Order among other documents
