    Aadhaar: No fingerprint, eye scan for children under 5 years
    Fingerprints and eye scan are not required to apply for an Aadhaar card for children aged below 5 years.

    Fingerprints and eye scan are not required to apply for an Aadhaar card for children aged below five years, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said. Such children can be issued a blue-colored Baal Aadhaar card. However, once they attain the age of five years, an update of their biometrics is mandatory, the UIDAI stated. Here's more on this.

    Birth certificate can be used for enrollment of children

    If a child is below five years and an Indian resident, then their birth certificate or a discharge slip from the hospital along with the Aadhaar of a parent or guardian can be used for enrollment. In case the child is a Non-Resident Indian (NRI), a valid Indian passport of the minor is mandatory as a Proof of Identity (PoI).

    Parents must give consent by signing the enrollment form

    According to UIDAI, if the child is aged under five, one of the parents or guardians has to authenticate on their behalf and give consent by signing the enrollment form. Parents need to give consent of enrollment for children aged between 5-18 as well. Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique random number issued to all Indian residents as an identity proof.
