Eligibility Criteria To Apply For Aadhar Card @Uidai

The Aadhar card is distributed to serve the official purposes of any Indian resident. A single Aadhar card can serve multiple purposes and work as an authentic proof of address and proof of identity. When you think about the eligibility criteria for applying for an Aadhaar card, you should know that the card is originated just to establish a person’s identity.

Therefore, The Eligibility Criteria For Applying An Aadhar Card Are:

You should be a citizen of India.

Children under 3 years do not require the Aadhar card.

NRI’s can also apply for an Aadhar card.

Foreigners who are residents of India can also apply for Aadhar card.

UIDAI has not set an age limit for the enrolment of Aadhar card just that, a child below 3 years does not need to provide any demographic details. In this case, linking to the child’s Aadhar number will be performed by their parents or guardians. When the child reaches 5 years, they need to provide their biometric information to update their records in the UIDAI database. If a child has registered their Aadhaar between 5 to 15 years, they will again require their biometric details to update their details in the record.

The re-registrations are required because as the child grows, their biometric differs along with their ages. And if they are not timely updated, then it might lead to false identity and the child might face difficulties during verifications in the future.
