A Blue or Baal Aadhaar card is an identification document issued to children under five. Introduced in 2018, the Aadhaar card for kids does not record any biometric information. It is called blue Aadhaar because of its blue colour, instead of the white rectangular card issued to adults.
Aadhaar cards serve as an important tool for the identification of individuals, especially when availing of government-provided social welfare schemes. Aadhaar cards are also demanded by various government and private sector organisations to accurately gather data associated with an individual.
