Good news for parents! The government has simplified the process of getting Aadhaar cards for children.
Now, only two documents are needed:
The child’s birth certificate to verify age and identity.
Aadhaar card of one parent to confirm the child’s identity.
No additional paperwork is required, making the process fast and hassle-free.

Step-by-Step Process for Child Aadhaar
Getting Aadhaar for your child is simple:
Visit your nearest post office and fill out the Aadhaar enrollment form.
Submit the child’s birth certificate and parent’s Aadhaar card.
Parents undergo biometric verification.
A photo of the child is taken.
All details are entered into the system, and the Aadhaar application is completed.
Within a few days, the child’s Aadhaar card is sent to the registered address.
Free of Cost
Parents don’t have to pay anything to get a Baal Aadhaar (child Aadhaar).
Enrollment is completely free for children aged 0–5. If anyone asks for money for registration, be cautious—it is not required.
