Biometrics (fingerprints and eye scanning) are not collected for children under 5 years of age. A child’s Aadhaar number is issued based on their parents’ Aadhaar. However, children are required to update their biometric and other information at the age of 5 and 15. This includes ten fingerprints, a photo, and an iris scan. This update process is also free and requires no documentation.
