The Blue Aadhaar card, or Baal Aadhaar, is indeed a special type of Aadhaar card intended for children under the age of 5. It is designed to simplify the process of enrolling young children in government welfare programs without requiring their biometric data. Here are the steps to apply for a Blue Aadhaar card:
- Visit the official website of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) at uidai.gov.in.
- Fill in the enrollment form for the Blue Aadhaar card. The form may include details such as the child’s name, date of birth, and demographic information. You will also need to provide the UID (Aadhaar number) of the child’s parent or guardian.
- Select the appointment option for registration. This may involve choosing a date and time for visiting an enrollment center.
- Find the closest Aadhaar enrollment center to your location and make an appointment. UIDAI has numerous enrollment centers across India, and you can locate one that is convenient for you.
