Children Under 5 Years Get Blue Aadhaar Card in India

March 6, 2018 Manoj Sodhani Comments 0 Comment

Are you willing to enroll your kid’s name for the Aadhaar Card?

Its processing won’t involve the steps of registration that the teenagers & youths follow. The competent authority Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) published more than a couple of tweets in the month of February, 2018. All these tweets recite the updates regarding this card. These updates are basically meant for the tiny tots who are just five or below.

It’s a must to drill these updates in your head timely. You can get rid of glitches in the banking transactions, passport making and telecom services in the upcoming years.

What are the Aadhaar Updates for the kids below 5 years?

Blue Card for Under 5 Kids:

The UIDAI has tweeted a fresh update on its official Twitter account. It has introduced a ‘Baal Aadhaar Card’ for a particular age group. The kids who are upto 5 years of age will be segregated under this age-group.

What’s the requirement?

So far, the UIDAI has announced to mandatorily provide the child’s birth certificate. If the parents have not yet registered their wards birth, they must get it done shortly. Otherwise, their children would definitely face off hitches in the future. If the parents have any plan to migrate or become an NRI, it would be a helpful tool.

To name the second requirement, the competent authority has directed to append the parent’s Aadhaar card number. Either mother or father can provide this detail to the authority. That will be valid to authenticate the Aadhaar application of their ward.

Cheers! The kids’ biometric details are not necessary. It defines that there is no need to scan the iris and finger prints of your ward.

When to scan biometrics:

One more tweet reads the official twitter handle of the foretold authority. It cites that upto 5 years, no scanning of the iris and pupil will be required. But once the kids surpass that threshold of the 5 years of age, it’s a mandatory practice to come down to the nearby Aadhaar center for updating the card. The registry of biometric details fulfills this formality. The respective authority doesn’t charge a single penny for it.

Mandatory to upgrade the biometrics at 15 years of age:

The authority has mandated to upgrade the biometric details at 15 years of age. The parents along with their ward must visit the nearby UIDAI office with the supporting documents. It determines that the children when reached the threshold of 15, they have to scan their finger prints and iris again.

These facilities would cost no arm and a leg. It would be absolutely free government service.

What are the steps to get blue coloured Baal Aadhaar card?

Visit the UIDAI office. It must be located nearby your house.
Take its enrollment form from the office.
Fill it completely providing valid details of the kid’s birth and self’s Aadhaar number.
Mention the mobile number to be registered with the blue card.
Capture the picture of the kid. Except biometrics, the picture will be attached onto the form.
Attach the supporting documents as aforementioned. The child’s school Id from any recognized educational institution can be attached to the enrollment form.
Once all formalities will be fulfilled, you can get the acknowledgement slip from the office.
This slip would enable you to catch on the Aadhaar status updates online.
Subsequently, an SMS will be issued to notify the successful submission of the enrollment form. The message will flash on the registered number that would be registered in the form.
These formalities would reach their termination at the delivery of this card. The entire process would take at least 60 days. Thereafter, you can collect it either by post or manually. If you find it feasible, collect it online using the number mentioned on the acknowledgement slip.

Aadhaar Card Can Be Your Birth Proof For Driving Licence

February 14, 2018 Manoj Sodhani Comments 0 Comment

Birth Proof Not Necessary for Driving Licence:

On February 9, 2018, the government brought a ‘Eurekha’ moment for the driving licence seekers. Yes! It’s true. Finally, the ruling government came with an amendment. The proposed rule states that the birth proof is no more confined to the birth certificate. The licence applicant can replace it with Aadhaar card.

Since it contains both age & address proof, the legislators have weighed it equal to the birth certificate. Therefore, no more hassles would let you to tussle for presenting only the birth certificate.

Earlier, the passport and visa authority approves the documents of the applicants with the birth certificate.

Amendment in Licence Law:

A draft notification is submitted to the law ministry for legal vetting in this regard. It carries the modified rule of Aadhaar’s inclusion in the document requisite for verification. The proposed notification carried the draft of the refined licence application form for the driving licence. The change in the legislation will reflect in the amendment of the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989.

What changes will reflect in the driving licence application form online?

The application form of the driving licence is revamped. Its previous blueprint did not show Aadhaar amongst other age and address proofs. The applicant had to select, scan and enclose the age proofs shortlisted in the drop down list of the requisite documents.

The Law & IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad stated, “Aadhaar would reflect in the incorporated list of the documents required for the licence. It would be an addition to the list of the address and age proofs.”

What more documents can you incorporate if you don’t have an Aadhaar Card?

Don’t you have Aadhaar? It’s ok. You can go for some other alternatives. These include:

Passport
Birth Certificate
Life Insurance Policy etc.

Is it secure to use Aadhaar for the licence?

On being asked if it’s not secure to upload the Aadhaar card, the Law Minister clarified firmly. This is a core competency of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). It has combated the threats to its security. It has put adequate legal, organizational and technological measures in place to keep it invulnerable.

The UIDAI keeps all sensitive information of every Aadhaar card bearer confidentially. However, breaking in the biometric details that contain the scanned iris and fingerprints is a hard nut to crack. But to create more robust security confinement, it has encrypted the data file of every card holder. And the encrypted files are stockpiled at UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository.

Now, it would be next to impossible to decrypt those sensitive files without its key.

What provisions would be there if you’ve neither birth certificate nor any other birth proof?

This is the biggest lag that can terminate your wish to get the driving licence. But, you can get out of this hot water.

You can visit the nearby Municipal Corporation or Village Panchayat. It must be the one located where you would have taken birth.
Inquire about the birth certificate.
You need to withdraw a non-availability of the birth certificate (NABC).
Produce all supporting documents, like passport or 10^th class marksheet, address and parent’s proofs.
The Registrar/Sub-Registrar will issue the NABC after verifying the supporting documents.

How Can You Apostille Birth Certificate in India?

February 9, 2018 Manoj Sodhani Comments 0 Comment

‘Apostille’ stands for the authentication. It marks the certificate of authenticity. Without it, the birth certificate form or visa application seems just an inexpensive paper. This stamp converts it into a precious asset of yours. As per the Hague Conventions, an apostilled birth certificate, for instance, would be a legal document. It would be valid internationally.

Why is birth certificate essential?

Your birth proof is not an obscure paper which you would never need. Reversely, it is a must-have proof. You would realize its significance when you’ll apply for the driving license, Aadhaar UID card and even, the passport & PAN card.

Later, it would be a valuable asset to apply for the visa as well.

How can you apostille the birth certificate in India?

The legislation permits the regional municipal corporation and the village Panchayat to issue & attest the birth certificate in India. The registrar or sub-registrar is deployed as its competent authority. You have to collect it within 21 days of an infant’s birth. The authority avails it absolutely free of cost.

You have to apply for the birth certificate exactly where you’re born. So first, identify your birth place. Then, visit the nearby Municipal Corporation (MC). Go along with all supporting documents.

Documents for Birth Certificate:

If you don’t have any idea, you can catch on this list of documents to take along:

School Leaving Certificate /10^th Class Mark Sheet
ID proof (PAN card/Ration Card/Voter ID /Aadhaar Card)
Address Proof (like Electricity Bill/Water Bill/ Bank Passbook)
Photo of the applicant
Affidavit of your parents (mother & father) or of any family member (like elder brother/sister)

Non-Availability Certificate At MC office:

When you would fill your birth application form at the MC office, they would issue a certificate called non-availability of the birth certificate. It reads that the applicant’s birth proof was not found after a thorough research. Therefore, the registrar puts the stamp on that document. This document subtly reads the name, address, parent’s name and other details of the bearer.

Subsequently, the applicant can go to the court. He/she can withdraw an affidavit from there. It’s a sworn statement of the affiant that whatever details he/she has put in it is valid. The affiant can be the applicant himself/herself. Then, he/she needs to enclose it with the other supporting documents as aforementioned.

Apostille Birth Certificate in India:

The concern for apostille of the birth certificate arises when you need to settle/fly abroad on visa. It is an essential step of immigration. You have to go for the apostille service carrying along multiple documents. They include asset valuation report, tax report, financial status evaluation report, appointment letter, and many more ones. The birth certificate is also one of them. So, you have to consult it with an attorney or lawyer or the third party like Services 2NRI who deals with the immigration documentation process. He would provide words of useful advice that would remove all roadblocks in between your visa approval.

If you personally want to do so, you need to visit the Ministry of External affairs and the Embassy of the country where you likely to go. The competent authority will verify your documents on the date of appointment. You must take along the original proofs as well. After getting satisfactory answers from you, the embassy will apostille your birth proof and other documents.

You throw the ball during the interview you can come for second time as well. But before that, you must consult the matter with an experienced attorney.

Applying for Passport This Christmas? Birth Certificate Not Required

December 22, 2017 Manoj Sodhani Comments 0 Comment

The passport rule carved in 1980 states that the Indian born on or after 26/01/1989 had to have a birth certificate (BC) from the Municipal Corporation (MC). This was the provision before July 2017. This rule of immigration was amended.

If you’re likely to apply for the Indian passport on this Christmas, you’d need a host of any of these documents:

Aadhaar Card or PAN card (if you’re born before 26/01.1989)
Transfer documents issued by school
School Leaving Certificate issued by school
Matriculation Certificate issued by the educational board

(These three documents contain the date of birth of the applicant. So, the passport authority accepts any of them as an alternative of the birth certificate)

LIC policy bonds
Driving Licence
Voter ID Card

Documents no longer required:

Divorce Decree (if you’re divorced)
Adoption Certificate (if you’re adopted)
Birth certificate (if you’re born before 1989)

Passport Authority Accepts BC Issued By MC:

It’s noteworthy that the passport authority requires birth proof. If you’re annexing the Municipal Corporation drawn birth proof, it would be acceptable. Otherwise, it rejects the same if issued from the hospital or any other authority.

If you’re an NRI (Non-resident of India), you would be equally eligible for getting Aadhaar Card as any other locale. As aforementioned, it would be acceptable. Therefore, you can take it as a good alternative document to apply for the passport from abroad.

If you’ve any suspicion over this amendment, go through the Aadhaar Act 2016. It goes that an NRI who lived here for the duration 182 days or a year immediately prior to the date of application, can apply for Aadhaar. Otherwise, they will not be eligible for this card. Then, such applicants have to apply for the birth certificate in India from MC.

The Aadhaar number is a unique identification code of 12-alphanumeric digits. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) holds end to end responsibility of issuing the unique identification number. The applicant can apply either online or offline.

He/she needs to follow these steps to get it:

Click and visit this website: uidai.gov.in
Fill the form online.
Download and save.
Take its print out.
Check the nearest enrolment center.
Fix the date of appointment for the in-person visit.
Visit the center along with these documents:

Resident proof
Birth certificate
PAN Card
Aadhaar Card Application form

You would be ready to scan your fingerprints and iris. The official at the UIDAI would ask for the biometric details. Once your application would be verified, the enrollment would be done. The official will deliver an acknowledgement slip. This slip would have scripted enrollment number. Subsequently, you can track its status online by inputting that enrollment number.

How Your Parents Can Register Birth for US Citizenship?

October 25, 2017 Manoj Sodhani Comments 0 Comment

Several NRIs (non-residents of India) are willing to take their parents along with them in the residence country. But some documentation works cause disruption.

Let’s say, my mother doesn’t have a birth certificate. Her birth stayed unregistered erstwhile. Now, I want her to settle with me in the US. It can’t be possible until and unless she would have the birth certificate. Undoubtedly, this document completes the major requirements.

Therefore, I’ve researched and found some concrete solutions to get rid of this trouble. This blog will let you know how you can get non-availability of birth certificate (NABC).

Wondering why I am talking about NABC, but not about the birth certificate?

Actually, you can’t apply for birth certificate after one year of birth directly from the Municipal Corporation office. Despite being a competent authority, it can’t go against the standard rule of the government. But there is another way. You can apply for the NABC to register the unregistered birth in India.

What is the US Citizenship?

The process of acquiring the US citizenship by the expats as per the Congress in the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) is called the US Citizenship. This process requires several formalities and conditions to fulfill. Once they are all done, the foreigner achieves the citizenship of the USA.

One of its major requirements for the documentation is the birth certificate. Therefore, the parents should apply for the unregistered birth certificate.

How can you get non-availability of birth certificate (NABC)?

Visit the site of the District Municipal Corporation (MC).
Get registered with the site.
Login to get an easy access of the birth certificate/affidavit.
Download the form/affidavit.
Fill all the requisite details, like father & mother’s name, date of birth, location, address, witnesses and so on.
Enclose the following documents’ scanned copy:

School records, like School Certificate, Mark Sheet and so on.
State of Federal Census Record, like Ration Card with the scripted name of the children & spouse.
Church record (if the baptism is occurred in the church).
Adoption decree (if the person is adopted by someone).
Voter card
Driving Licence
PAN Card
Passport (Both surrendered & current, if any)
Affidavit of the two witnesses who can be any of the parents or relatives but would have been 10+ years of age when they witnessed the birth of the applicant.
The affidavit statement should have correctly filled all details.

After enclosing the document, you need to pay the service charge online.
Then, download the receipt for further reference.

Meanwhile, the verification will go on. And afterwards, the NABC will be initialized within a month. But for expats or NRIs, it can take 15 days at least.

Alternatively, you can directly visit the district MC office. File a plea for registering the unregistered birth. You can enclose all the above said documents with the application form. They would be considered as a secondary evidence of the birth.

Besides all these, you may need to enclose the photocopy of these:

Letter of the jail in-charge (if born in the jail)
Letter of the health officer (if vaccinated in the nearby dispensary & born at home)
Letter of the doctor (if born in the hospital)
Letter of the Sarpanch (if born in the village)
Letter of the vehicle In-charge (if born in the moving vehicle)
Letter of the head of the Dharamshala (if born there).

Once you accomplish all such form filling, appending the requisite documents, you can pay the service charge. The Registrar will call you for the verification. Visit with the original supporting documents. Get the birth proof. Subsequently, you can apply for the US citizenship certificate easily.
