New Delhi, July 15 -- The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has reiterated the importance of completing the Mandatory Biometric Update (MBU) for children who have attained the age of seven but have not yet updated their biometrics in Aadhaar.

According to the release, this is an existing requirement under Aadhaar, and parents or guardians can update their child's details at any Aadhaar Seva Kendra or designated Aadhaar centre.

A child under the age of five enrols for Aadhaar by providing their photograph, name, date of birth, gender, address, and documents as proof. The fingerprints and iris biometrics of a child are not captured for Aadhaar enrolment below the age of five because these are not mature at that age.
