4. Biometrics are not recorded for children before five years of age. Once the child crosses the age of five years, his or her biometrics details - through iris and fingerprint scans - need to be updated. If the child's age is more than five years, biometrics will also be recorded. The child's fingerprint and iris scans as well as photograph will be taken at the Aadhaar enrolment centre (also known as 'Aadhaar Kendra'). These details will be updated again when the child turns 15.5. After confirmation, collect the acknowledgement slip. Once the verification process is completed, an SMS will be sent to the registered mobile number. Within 60 days of receiving this message, the Aadhaar card number will be issued.
