Before registering their children in Aadhaar, parents should be aware of the following characteristics of the Aadhar card for children under the age of five:

• All children under the age of five, including newborns, are eligible for an Aadhaar card.
• In this instance, no biometrics of the kid are collected.
• For Aadhaar, just the child’s picture is taken.
• It is mandatory to present the Aadhaar card to one of the parents.
• If both parents do not have Aadhaar, they must first enroll in Aadhaar.
• Once the kid reaches the age of five, he must submit biometric data from all ten fingers as well as an iris scan.
• During the procedure, a photograph is also taken.
• When the youngster reaches the age of 15, the practice must be repeated.

Aadhar Card for Minors or Children Between the Age of 5 and 15 Years of Age

Children between the ages of 5 and 15 are granted Aadhar cards in the same way as adults are. The UIDAI has made no distinction between Aadhaar for children and Aadhaar for adults. However, there are certain distinguishing aspects of Aadhaar for children aged 5 to 15:

• The enrollment process is comparable to that of adults.
• The only distinction is the sort of documentation that must be provided.
• When the kid reaches the age of 15, he must have his biometric data (all ten fingerprints, iris scans, and photos) updated.
• In all situations, the birth certificate/hospital discharge certificate must be presented.
• In the event that biometrics do not match in the future, the biometric data can be updated again.
