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.
Get Aadhaar at Your Nearest Post Office
You no longer need to visit an Aadhaar center.
Post offices now provide Aadhaar enrollment for children.
Parents can simply visit their nearest post office, submit the documents, and the officials complete the process in just a few minutes.
This initiative is designed to make Aadhaar services accessible to everyone, eliminating long queues and unnecessary travel.
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.
Why Aadhaar is Important for Children
Aadhaar is becoming essential for many services, such as:
School admissions
Government benefits and scholarships
Banking services
The government encourages parents to enroll their children in Aadhaar early to avoid difficulties in the future.
