UIDAI said this about Aadhaar for DOB proof?
Aadhaar is recognized as a proof of identity and proof of address for the Aadhaar holder due to its specificity, making it a form of ID. However, it cannot be used as date of birth (DoB) proof. Aadhaar is a 12-digit personal identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India on behalf of the Government of India. This number serves as proof of identity and address, anywhere in India.
