In India, Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique ID issued by UIDAI as proof of identity and address. For children below five, a special Baal Aadhaar is provided, containing the child’s name, photo, date of birth, gender, and linked to one parent’s Aadhaar—without requiring biometric data. Since Aadhaar is often needed for linking with documents like passports, getting a Baal Aadhaar for your child is essential. Don’t worry—we’ve outlined the required documents and simple steps to apply.
