# Gujarat > Gujarat has a distinctive child-focused Aadhaar channel through Women & Child Development: selected Anganwadi infrastructure is used for early-age enrolment and mandatory biometric work. Canonical page: https://eaadhaarinfo.com/gujarat Important: eAadhaar Info is an independent reference publication. It is not UIDAI or a Government of India website. For transactions, current rules and final verification, use the official UIDAI or myAadhaar service linked by the article. ## Why an Anganwadi may be the right first call Gujarat’s Women & Child Development Department says it has acted as an Aadhaar registrar since 2016 and deployed block-level kits and operators. Its published initiative focuses on children aged 0–5 and adolescent girls, with enrolment or mandatory biometric activity through Anganwadis. ## Check the child’s age and transaction ### Under five Ask whether the local Anganwadi is currently scheduling child enrolment and which parent/guardian and birth documents are required under UIDAI’s current list. ### After age five The first mandatory biometric update needs fingerprints, iris and photograph. Confirm that the scheduled kit supports the full transaction. ### General adult work Do not assume the child-focused WCD channel handles every adult update; use the UIDAI locator for another authorised station. ## Treat the state page as a channel description The WCD initiative page establishes who the programme is designed to reach. It is not a live appointment calendar. Parents should confirm the date locally and then use UIDAI’s current document schedule, especially where a child’s birth date or relationship evidence is involved.
