Hyderabad: The School Education Department, in coordination with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), is facilitating mandatory biometric updates (MBU) of Aadhaar for eligible school-going students to ensure easy access and compliance with UIDAI guidelines.

These school-based Aadhaar centres operate in a mobile mode, moving from one school to another within the locality to ensure wider coverage and convenience for students and parents.

The Aadhaar enrolment and MBU centres are operated within school premises, enabling students of both government and private schools to conveniently avail the services, he said. Details regarding the location and schedule could be obtained from the DEOs or MEOs of the districts concerned.

All students who enrolled for Aadhaar before attaining the age of five years must mandatorily update their biometrics after completing five years of age, as per UIDAI guidelines.

The first biometric update is provided free of cost for students in the age groups of 5 to 15 years and 15 to 17 years. However, for the second biometric update and subsequent updates, a fee of Rs 125 will be charged. In case of demographic updates, a fee of Rs 75 will be applicable.

Parents and school authorities have been advised to ensure completion of MBU on or before the end of February 2026, so as to avoid any inconvenience or disruption in Aadhaar-based services for students.
