Aadhaar biometric update for children: UIDAI (UIDAI) is now going to start biometric updates of Aadhaar cards of children through schools across the country. This process will be implemented in a phased manner in the next two months. According to UIDAI CEO Bhuvanesh Kumar, biometric updates of more than 7 crore children who have crossed the age of 5 years have not been updated, which is mandatory.

What is the need for biometric updates?

After the age of 5, updates of fingerprint and iris scan are mandatory in children’s base. If the mandatory biometric update (MBU) is not done on time, the child’s Aadhaar number can also be deactivated. According to the rules of UIDAI:

Biometric update at the age of 5 to 7 years is free.

After 7 years, a fee of ₹ 100 will have to be paid for the update.

How will biometric updates be done through schools?

UIDAI is going to start a new project, under which biometric updates of children will be done through schools. This process will be done with the consent of the parents so that children can get this service easily in school itself. Under this, biometric machines will be sent to each district, which will go from one school to another, so that more and more children can reach this facility. Currently, this technique is being tested and the scheme will be implemented in a phased manner in the next 45 to 60 days.
