UIDAI Completes Over 2 Crore Aadhaar Biometric Updates for Children; Free Service Until September 30
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has completed over 2 crore mandatory biometric updates for children aged 5 to 17 years. Parents must take children to Aadhaar Enrolment Centres for fingerprint, iris, and photograph updates, as the process cannot be done online. The updates are free until September 30, with the first update required at age 5 and the second at 15. Parents should retain the acknowledgement slip to track the update status on the UIDAI website.
