Parents must update Aadhaar biometrics for children after age 7, says govt

Parents have been urged to update their child’s Aadhaar biometrics once the child turns seven, as per the existing guidelines under the Aadhaar framework. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has reiterated the need to complete the Mandatory Biometric Update (MBU) for children who have not yet undergone the update. The Ministry of Electronics and IT clarified that the process can be completed at any Aadhaar Seva Kendra or designated Aadhaar centre.
