The UIDAI ("Authority") issues the Aadhaar number, which is a 12-digit random number, to Indian residents who have completed the Authority's verification process. An Aadhar number serves as proof of identity and address anywhere in India.
Children under the age of five will not have their biometrics collected. Their UID is generated using demographic data and a facial photograph linked to their parents' UID. When these children reach the ages of 5 and 15, their ten fingers, iris, and facial photographs will need to be updated.
The enrollment of children in Aadhaar is very similar to that of adults. You must take your child to an Aadhaar enrollment centre and fill out an enrollment form.
