Baal Aadhaar Card Biometric Update
Aadhaar is the most important proof of identity for Indian residents. The 12-digit individual authentication number is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) under the Government of India.
Bal Aadhaar is a blue-coloured letter that holds the Aadhaar numbers for children below the age of five. When the child reaches five years of age, its depicted as invalid. When the parents of the child update details with biometrics, only then will it become valid. But now, as per a recent tweet published by the UIDAI officials, there will be no change in a child’s Aadhaar after updating their biometrics.
