Aadhaar Card For Children Below 5 Years: All You Need To Know

Aadhar Card - All You Need To Know: Have you updated your Aadhaar Card recently? It is crucial to update your and your family's Aadhaar Card. Aadhaar is a 12-digit number issued by the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) to citizens of India after a proper verification process, according to the rules of the body. Your Aadhaar number is a proof of identity and address anywhere in India. If there are newborn babies and children below five years, don't think you can get the Aadhaar Card done later. It is necessary to do it as soon as you can. The Twitter handle of Aadhaar also gives all updates about important information you need.
