A special version of Aadhaar has been created for children under five years of age, called Baal Aadhaar. It contains the child's name, photo, date of birth, and gender, and is linked to the parent's Aadhaar number. Fingerprints or eye scans are not taken from children at this age.

This is an Aadhaar card issued for children under five years of age. It contains the child's photo, name, date of birth, and parental information. It can be made at any Aadhaar Seva Kendra. Many hospitals offer Aadhaar enrolment at the time of birth.

First, book an appointment online. Visit the UIDAI website. Go to “My Aadhaar” and select “Book an Appointment.” Enter your city and mobile number and verify the OTP. Choose a date and time to visit the enrollment center. To enroll offline, visit the nearest Aadhaar enrollment center. Fill out the form and submit your child's documents. Parents should provide their biometric and Aadhaar information. You will receive an Acknowledgement Slip containing the enrollment ID. You can check the status using this.
