In today’s digital age, governments across India are implementing unified identification systems to streamline citizen services. One such initiative is Family ID, a unique identification number that links each member of a family to a single digital profile. This ID not only makes access to government schemes easier but also ensures better targeting of benefits. In this blog, we’ll explain what Family ID is, its key benefits, and guide you step-by-step through the online application process so you can get started with ease.
What is Family ID?
Family ID is a unique identification number assigned to an entire family by the government. Instead of identifying individuals separately, a Family ID links all family members under one digital profile, helping the government track, verify, and deliver services more efficiently.
It includes essential details like:
- Names of all family members
- Relationship between them
- Aadhaar numbers (in some states)
- Income, residence, and other key information
The main goal of Family ID is to provide easy access to government schemes, avoid duplication in benefits, and ensure that eligible families get timely support in sectors like education, healthcare, ration distribution, pensions, etc.
Some Indian states like Haryana (Parivar Pehchan Patra) and Uttar Pradesh (Family ID – One Family One ID) have already implemented it.
