Aadhaar Form 5-18 - Summary

Aadhaar Form 5-18 PDF is essential for updating the Aadhaar card of children aged between 5 to 18 years. For children under the age of 5, one of their parents or guardians must provide their “name” and “Aadhaar number.” When enrolling children, parents or guardians must present their Aadhaar documentation, or they can enroll together.

The UIDAI allows residents of all ages to enroll, including infants. However, biometric information is not collected from children younger than 5 years. For these children, their Aadhaar is linked to a parent or guardian’s Aadhaar. Once they turn 5 years old, they must provide biometric data (photograph, ten fingerprints, and two iris scans). Additionally, the biometric information should be updated again when they reach 15 years.

Documents Required for Aadhaar Form 5-18

Birth Certificate issued by the Authorized Authority under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, or the respective state rules.
The child’s birth certificate or school certificate.
The parent’s Aadhaar card or any other valid government identification, such as a PAN card, passport, or driving license.
Proof of address for the parent, like an electricity bill, water bill, or telephone bill.
A passport-sized photograph of the child.

How to Apply Aadhaar Form 5-18

Visit the Enrolment Centre
After locating the nearest enrolment centre, bring the child along with all necessary documents. You’ll need to fill out an enrolment form with personal details of the child, including name, date of birth, and address.

Data Collection
Once you fill out the enrolment form, the child’s photograph will be taken. Note that fingerprints and iris scans are not captured for children under 5 years. After a child turns 5, updating biometrics becomes mandatory.

If a child is below 5 years old, a parent or guardian must authenticate on their behalf and provide consent for enrollment by signing the form, as per UIDAI guidelines.

For NRI children, a valid Indian passport must be shown as Proof of Identity (PoI). For Indian residents, valid proof of relationship documents like a birth certificate, along with the Aadhaar of the parent or guardian, can be used for enrollment.

Acknowledgement Slip
Once the biometric data has been collected, you will receive an acknowledgment slip containing the enrolment ID. This ID helps in tracking the status of the Aadhaar card application.
