The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has rolled out a pilot of its 'Baal Aadhaar,' an Aadhaar card for children.
Valid up to the age of five, the blue-coloured Aadhaar card would have to be reactivated once the child is above five.
Thereafter, a compulsory biometric update would be required to reactivate the card.
Aadhaar is a 12-digit individual identification number issued by the UIDAI on behalf of the Government of India which serves as a proof of identity and address, anywhere in India.
