Process of making Aadhar card for children below 5 years of age

For children up to 5 years of age, the process of making Aadhar card is slightly different from adults. Unlike adults, fingerprint scan or retina scan is not required for a child's Aadhar card. Instead, the process is simple and can be completed using the birth certificate or hospital discharge slip as proof of the child’s identity and birth.

Documents Required:

Birth certificate or hospital discharge slip (to verify the child’s age and identity).

Aadhaar card of both parents (mother and father).

PAN card of parents (for identity verification).

It is important to note that the Aadhaar card of children below the age of 5 years will not include biometric data like fingerprints or retina scans, as they are not collected for children of this age group.

Where to Apply for Aadhaar Card

UIDAI Portal: You can fill the form online and schedule an appointment at the nearest Aadhaar centre.

Aadhaar Seva Kendra: You can directly visit any Aadhaar enrolment centre to submit the required documents and complete the process.

The card is usually processed and ready within 1 to 2 weeks.

Renewal after 5 years

When your child turns 5 years old, the Aadhaar card needs to be updated to include biometric data such as fingerprint and retina scan. This process is necessary to keep the Aadhaar records updated as your child grows.

Charges for Aadhaar Card

Aadhaar card is completely free for children below 5 years of age.
