5 steps and Aadhar at Home - Yes it is possible to get an Aadhar Card (Kids) by Sitting At Home !!

It's an era of digitalization where, on a day-to-day basis, many necessary things like paying utility bills, house taxes, income taxes, UPI money transfers, etc. are getting accomplished with a single click. When it comes to applying for ID proofs or address proofs like Aadhar or voter ID, people used to have less clarity and lack of knowledge, leading to standing in queues by talking leaves from the office, and despite that, some times applications get rejected because of a minor error or because details are not correctly reflected after receiving IDs from respective departments.

BUT, as we know, change is the only constant thing in this world; hence, the Internet came, and government departments understood the need of the time by changing their service delivery platforms online, which helped millions of citizens. It also helped departments maintain records digitally and link one document ID with other IDs based on need; it also eliminated manual work and rectification of detail errors like incorrect name spelling, date of birth, etc. on the IDs.

Aadhar is one of the key documents that is used for identity and, primarily, school admissions. It is not feasible to take kids to the Aadhar centre, fill out forms, and then apply by submitting the filled forms, all while standing in a queue. There is also a possibility that Aadhar Centre may shut down or the server may not respond, which may also lead to a re-visit (in-convivence for kids). Now GOI brings Aadhar for kids by sitting at home, which means citizens can apply for Aadhar card without standing in queue or visiting any centre; anyone can apply the same via official websites just by clicking. Before applying for an Aadhar card for kids below 5 years, one must have a birth certificate and the Aadhar details of one of the parents ready.

Below are the steps one needs to follow while applying for Aadhar through website for their kids:

Step 1: Login into India Post Services by click on the below link or type India post service request on Google Search and click on first page.

Step 2: Fill in the mandatory or required fields like name, address, pin code, email ID, and mobile number, and then select from the drop-down categories: IPPB Aadhar Services and UIDAI Child (0–5 years) Aadhar Enrollment. Click on Request OTP. Once you receive the OTP over the mobile number provided, just feed it correctly over the next available platform as per the below snapshot.

Step 3: Once OTP details are inputted correctly within 90 seconds of its generation, click on Confirm Service Request. Within 5 seconds, the requestor will get a request reference number for future references. It's advised to input the correct or complete house address and pin code to avoid any further delay in processing the online request.

Step 4: The requestor can track the application request status with the help of the reference number generated. To do so, click on the "Click to Track Your Request" option over the above snapshot page and fill in the reference number or mobile number. After that, click on the "Fetch" option. The requestor will get post office details, status, request date, and service details.

Step 5: From Postal Bank, an employee will visit the provided home address. The requestor will get a call to validate the application's authenticity before the visit. The main purpose of the visit is to get the Aadhar for the kids with a nominal fee of Rs 50. The parent's biometrics will be considered until the age of 5, very similar to a passport application for kids.
