From filling job application to admission to your bank details, almost every application asks for your Aadhar card. Aadhar Card is a 12-digit number issued by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India), after a thorough verification process. The Aadhaar number is proof of identity and address anywhere in India.

Their Aadhaar Cards will be updated with biometrics when they are five and again at 15. Their unique identification is done on the basis of demographic information and photograph (face).
