In Ghaziabad district, children will no longer need to take an appointment at Aadhaar Seva Kendras to update their biometrics in their Aadhaar cards.
Parents can now take their children directly to these centers for the biometric update. This step will make the process easier for both children and parents.
The Lucknow regional office of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has started a special campaign to spread awareness about the mandatory biometric updates in children’s Aadhaar cards.
This campaign also covers the Aadhaar Seva Kendra in the district, where children’s biometrics can now be updated without booking an appointment.
Officials have informed that under this campaign, children between 5 and 15 years of age will not need to book an appointment to update their biometrics at the Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
They can walk in from Monday to Friday between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm, and any time during the day on Saturday and Sunday.
Children can visit the Aadhaar Seva Kendra with their parents to get their biometrics updated directly.
It is important to know that biometric updates are mandatory when a child turns 5 and again at 15.
This update includes taking new fingerprints, an eye scan, and a recent photograph of the child.
Separate machines for registration and biometric updates have been set up at Aadhaar Seva Kendras to make the process smoother.
This arrangement will make it much easier for people to get the updates done.
Apart from the main Aadhaar Seva Kendra in Ghaziabad district, banks and post offices also handle biometric updates for Aadhaar cards.
More than 50 children get their biometrics updated daily at the Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
