The Blue Aadhaar Card, also known as the Baal Aadhaar Card, is specifically designed for children below the age of 5. It functions like a regular Aadhaar card but is tailored to meet the unique needs of young children. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply for a Blue Aadhaar Card:
Online Application Process:
- Visit the official website of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI): UIDAI Official Website.
- Go to the “My Aadhaar” section and click on “Book an Appointment.”
- Select “New Aadhaar” and enter your mobile number and captcha.
- Under the category “Relationship with Head of Family,” choose “Child (0-5 years).”
- Provide the required details about the child and book an appointment at the nearby Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
Offline Application Process:
- Visit any Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Permanent Enrollment Center.
- Fill out the Aadhaar enrollment form and submit the required documents.
- Inform the officials that you want to enroll your child for a Blue Aadhaar Card.
Documents Required:
- Child’s birth certificate.
- Parent’s Aadhaar card.
- Two passport-sized photographs of the child (optional, can be taken at the center).
- Address proof of the parent (e.g., ration card, electricity bill, etc.).
Important Points to Note:
- During the enrollment procedure, only one parent needs to be present.
- Only one parent’s Aadhaar number will be linked to the Blue Aadhaar Card.
- After successful enrollment, it takes about 60 days to receive the Blue Aadhaar Card.
The Blue Aadhaar Card is an essential identity proof document for children in India and is designed to facilitate their access to various services.
