Aadhaar Form 5-18
Aadhaar Form 5-18 is required to update the Aadhaar card of the child who age is between 5 to 18 years. 5 वर्ष से कम उम्र के बच्चों के मामले में, माता-पिता या अभिभावक में से किसी एक का “नाम” और “आधार नंबर” अनिवार्य है। बच्चों का नामांकन करते समय माता-पिता/अभिभावक को अपना आधार पत्र प्रस्तुत करना होगा (या उन्हें एक साथ नामांकित किया जा सकता है)
The UIDAI enrolls residents of all ages, including infants. However, biometric information is not collected for children under the age of 5 years. For children under 5 years of age, their Aadhaar is linked to one of their parents or guardians. Such children need to submit their biometric information (Photograph, ten Fingerprints, and two Irises) once they attain the age of 5 years. These biometrics need to be updated again when they attain the age of 15 years.
