New Delhi: Aadhaar enrolment for newborns along with birth certificates is expected to be available in all states in the next few months, expanding beyond 16 states currently offering the facility, government sources said.

At present, 16 states have Aadhaar Linked Birth Registration.
The process began more than one year ago, with various states getting added over time.

Work is on in the remaining states and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) -- the government agency that issues Aadhaar numbers -- expects that over the next few months all states will be able to offer the facility, bringing added convenience to new parents.

Of this, 4 crores were new enrolments, a number that includes newborn babies and children up to 18 years.
Sources said that in 16 states whenever a birth certificate is issued, a message pings to the UIDAI system, following which an enrolment ID number is generated.
