Aadhaar card is not proof of citizenship, residence and DOB:UIDAI issues clarification, document is just an identity proof

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has clarified that the 12-digit Aadhaar number is only proof of identity, not citizenship. Additionally, UIDAI has also stated that the Aadhaar card is not proof of date of birth. In fact, the Aadhaar card is now linked to almost every essential service, but many people are still confused whether it can be proof of date of birth or Indian citizenship. To put an end to such rumors, UIDAI has issued this clarification. Postal Department issued an order Meanwhile, the postal department recently issued an order. It states that the Aadhaar number can be used to prove the identity of the Aadhaar holder, but it is not conclusive proof of citizenship, residence, or date of birth. Therefore, do not use it as final proof to establish the date of birth. The government has also ordered all post offices to disseminate this information to all concerned people and display it on notice boards in public areas. Fees increased for Aadhaar update Meanwhile, updating Aadhaar details has also become more expensive since October 1. This is the first increase in about 5 years… Aadhaar enrollment and updates will remain free for newborns. Biometric updates for children are mandatory at 5 years of age, between 5-7 years, and at 15-17 years. This clarification from UIDAI is necessary to prevent misuse of Aadhaar.
