Aadhar Card : In India, Aadhar Card has become the most important identity document for people of all ages. Now a big update has come out regarding Aadhar for children. UIDAI i.e.
Unique Identification Authority of India has clearly warned that if a child’s Aadhar has been made before the age of 5 years and the biometrics are not updated in it for 7 years, then Aadhar may be closed.
Actually, Aadhaar of small children is made only on the basis of name, date of birth, address and photo, because at that age their biometric identification fingerprint and iris are not fully developed. This is the reason why UIDAI has made Aadhaar update mandatory at the age of 5 and 15 years. If this is not done on time, the child may face problems in school admission, exam, scholarship or any government scheme.
Update of 17 crore children is pending
According to UIDAI, Aadhaar of about 17 crore children in the country is yet to be updated. UIDAI has taken several steps to speed up this work. Aadhaar update camps are being organized in schools, the list of children is being prepared on the UDISE+ platform and constant reminders are being sent to parents through SMS.
When and how will I get the free update?
Biometric update of children is absolutely free between the age of 5 to 7 years. If parents get their child’s Aadhaar updated during this period, they will not have to pay any fee. But after completion of 7 years of age, a fee of Rs 100 will have to be paid for updating. If the update facility is not available in the school, then parents can get this work done by visiting any nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Register Enrollment Center.
Required documents
To get the update done, first go to the UIDAI website and choose the option of Locate an Enrolment Center. Here you will get information about the nearest center by entering the State or PIN Code. Then the parents will have to take the child’s birth certificate, school ID or other valid identity card and their Aadhaar card with them. On the basis of these, the child’s photo, fingerprint and iris scan will be updated.
This step of UIDAI is very important for children to avoid any kind of trouble in future. Parents should get their children’s Aadhaar updated in time, so that there is no problem in any facility from school to scholarship and government schemes.
