UIDAI Details Baal Aadhaar Application Process and Mandatory Biometric Updates for Children
The Baal Aadhaar is a special Aadhaar card issued by UIDAI for children under five, identifiable by its blue color and providing a unique 12-digit number for various services like school admissions and government schemes. Unlike regular Aadhaar, biometric data is not initially required but must be updated at ages five and 15 through mandatory biometric updates, which are free if done on time. UIDAI has launched awareness campaigns to encourage timely updates, and parents must follow specific enrolment procedures and document requirements.
