The government has made it much simpler to get an Aadhaar card for children.
Now, only two documents are needed:
Child’s birth certificate – to confirm age and identity.
Aadhaar card of one parent – to verify the child’s identity.
With just these documents, you can complete the Aadhaar enrollment.
No extra paperwork is required.

You no longer need to visit an Aadhaar center.
Many post offices now offer Aadhaar enrollment for children.
Parents can go to their nearest post office, show the required documents, and the officials will complete the process in just a few minutes.
This move aims to make Aadhaar services more accessible, eliminating long queues and unnecessary hassle.
