New Delhi: In many circumstances, children, like adults, require confirmation of identification, and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has a solution in place. Children under the age of five can have their own Aadhaar, which is known as Blue Aadhaar or Baal Aadhaar, where they can get an ID card, just like other Indian citizens.
The Baal Aadhaar card, as its name suggests, is blue in colour, as opposed to the typical white Aadhaar card. Like ordinary Aadhaar cards, the Blue Aadhaar or Baal Aadhaar has a unique 12-digit number. They do not, however, require the child's biometric information.
Important Features of Blue Aadhaar or Baal Aadhaar
1. Blue Aadhaar differs from normal Aadhaar in a number of ways, the most notable of which is that it does not require the child's biometric information. This registration is free of charge.
2. Parents must fill out a form to register their children for the event. They will next be required to present identification documents, such as a birth certificate or hospital discharge form, as well as a photograph. Parents can enrol their children for the blue Aadhaar card using their children's school ID, according to UIDAI. Aadhaar information from a parent is also necessary while applying for a Baal Aadhaar or Blue Aadhaar.
