If your child has recently turned seven, be aware that UIDAI recommends parents update their child’s Aadhaar biometric details. Since children’s fingerprints and iris patterns change as they grow, updating their Aadhaar ensures smoother processes in the future. You can go to any Aadhaar Seva Kendra or enrollment center without making an appointment. The update is free for children aged five to seven, and again at age 15. This simple process helps keep their ID information current and ensures easy access to government services in the future.
