Aadhaar Card: Quick Steps to Apply for Blue Aadhar or Baal Aadhar

The Indian government has introduced unique identity cards for kids under the age of five called "Blue Aadhaar Cards," which are similar to Aadhaar Cards.

The 12-digit Aadhar card acts as a unique identification number that all citizens must possess to use any services offered by banks, public-private financial institutions, and other government institutes.

Similar to this, children are getting "Blue Aadhar Cards" that contain information about them and can be used to enroll them in institutions. Contrary to the standard Aadhar card, the child's Aadhar card would become invalid once he is 5 years old.
