As Biometrics is not developed for children before five years of age, a child's blue-coloured Aadhaar data does not include biometric information like fingerprints and iris scans. Once the child crosses the age of five, biometrics should be updated, according to the UIDAI official.

Blue Aadhar Card will also carry a 12-digit number for children below five years of age. It will become invalid once the child crosses the age of five.
