New Delhi: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has decided to provide Aadhaar to newborns as well. With the increasing importance of the 12-digit Aadhaar number, which has become an important document for proving identity and address, it has been decided to extend this facility to children as soon as they are born. Aadhaar will be issued to newborns without the inclusion of biometrics.
The cover photo of the parents will be collected for biometric information. When a child is five years old, a biometric of ten fingers can be recorded. You can apply for this online or offline. If you are offline, you need to go to the Aadhaar Enrollment Center and apply. Relevant documents should also be submitted.
