The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) states that biometric updates are required once a child turns five. Since fingerprints and iris scans are not developed at that age, the card depends only on a photo, name, and address. The Aadhaar card is called Baal Aadhaar, printed in blue, and is issued for children under the age of five. According to reports, approximately 17 crore Aadhaar updates for children are still pending in India. If a biometric update is missing, parents must pay a fee (currently Rs.100).

New Aadhaar App to Simplify Identity Verification Using QR Code Technology

Instead of providing photocopies, Aadhaar holders will be able to electronically disclose their identities in the upcoming weeks. According to a TOI article, users would be able to share a full version of the document through QR code using a new mobile app from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). A system that allows users to alter their name, date of birth, address, and phone number from the comfort of their own homes will be introduced by UIDAI. By November, providing fingerprints and iris scans at an enrollment center will be the only in-person step. The goal of the action is to reduce paperwork, reduce the possibility of fake documents, and speed up the procedure for citizens. Birth certificates, driver's licenses, passports, PANs, PDSs, and MNREGA are among the documents from which UIDAI obtains its data directly. The QR-code approach is ready to be used for identity verification on trains, hotel check-ins, and property deals.
