New Delhi: Aadhar cards have been provided by the government as unique proofs of identity for the citizens of India. Presently, Aadhar cards and numbers have been made important to avail services of banks and other civic institutions. For children below the age of 5, the government has launched ‘Blue Aadhar Cards’.

The cards issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) contain a 12-digit unique identification number assigned to an individual. Similarly, Blue Aadhar Card will also carry a 12-digit number for children below 5 years of age. It will become invalid once the child crosses the age of 5.

Usually, Aadhar Card also contains the details of fingerprints and retina of the cardholder. This ensures that one number is used by one individual only. However, the Blue baal Aaadhar card does not contain any such information. After a child grows up and crosses the age of 5, it becomes mandatory to update the details and incorporate the fingerprints with the UIDAI.

According to a report by Jagran, UIDAI allows the card to be used as a valid document proof for enrollment in schools. Generally, a birth certificate is used by the parents during school admissions.
