Process for capturing minors (0 to 15 years):

• Applicant will be verified to ascertain if he/she has enrolled before through the verification portal.
• Applicant will be issued an enrolment form to fill if he/she has not enrolled before. OR the printed Barcode slip will be collected if the applicant had pre-enrolled earlier using the pre-enrolment services.
• Applicant forms will be vetted by a NIMC Official to crosscheck the information filled on the form against the supporting document provided and to check for errors/mistake filled on the form.

Note: Parents/Guardians who cannot read nor write should come along with another person who can do the form filling on their behalf.

• Applicant’s pre-filled information will be inputted on the NIMC Software by a NIMC enrolment officer or the Barcode slip be scanned by the NIMC enrolment officer to populate all the required fields.
