What is Blue Aadhaar Card?
Blue Aadhar, also known as Baal Aadhaar, has been introduced by the UIDAI. It is printed in a blue-colored letter and holds the Aadhaar number for children below five years of age.

It must be noted that blue colored Aadhaar card becomes invalid when the child becomes five years old. To make it valid, the Aadhaar holder (parents) need to update the Aadhaar details with biometrics on attaining the age of five years of their child.
