UIDAI drive for 4.6 crore UP minors to update biometrics
Lucknow: The UIDAI regional office in Lucknow has launched a campaign targeting mandatory biometric updates for 4.6 crore children with Aadhaar cards in UP, while promoting awareness about the process.
Children can visit any of the 12 Aadhaar seva kendras (ASK) locations across UP, situated in Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Gonda, Varanasi, Agra, Moradabad, Saharanpur, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Meerut and Prayagraj. Walk-in services are available on weekdays from 4.30-5.30 pm, and 9.30-5.30 pm during weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
Deputy director general of UIDAI's Lucknow region, Colonel Prashant Kumar Singh said, "Considering the summer vacations of schools, we have launched this campaign for children, for whom biometric updates are mandatory between the ages of 5-17 years."
The state has 2,937 biometric update centres, including 500 run by Indian postal service, in addition to the 12 ASKs. These centres require prior appointments for updates.
As per UIDAI guidelines, children aged 0-5 years do not need biometrics for Aadhaar enrolment. However, two biometric updates are necessary from age 5-17.
Currently, 1.8 crore minors from 5-7 years require Aadhaar biometric updates, while 2.8 crore minors from 15-17 years have pending biometric updates in UP.

Further, from 15-17 years, the biometric update is again mandatory, and the service is free of cost, but post 17 years the biometric update charges are Rs 100," Col Singh said.
For Lucknow residents, the ASK service is accessible at Ratan Square for biometric updates.
On each ASK, there are at least two counters which have been dedicated for minor's biometric updates.
