Age proof not mandatory for Aadhaar enrolment

A senior Unique Identification Authority of India (UID

AI) official reportedly said that it is not mandatory to provide age proof for Aadhaar enrolment, but a valid document is required to correct the date of birth registered for the unique identity. "It is not mandatory to provide a document for age proof for getting Aadhaar. Many people in the country may not know their date of birth exactly or have birth certificates. In such cases, the person is requested to specify his age, and the same is accepted by the UIDAI", the official said.
