PAN for a minor, a guide for parents and guardians
A minor PAN request is part of the New PAN route and is handled through a parent or guardian. Here is what that means in practice.
Quick answer
A minor PAN is part of the New PAN Application route. A parent or guardian starts the request and acts on the minor's behalf. The final preparation list follows current official guidance, which CAREALL confirms for your case.
Minor PAN is part of New PAN
There is no separate service for minors. On this website, choose New PAN Application and select “A minor (through parent/guardian)” as the applicant category.
The parent or guardian’s role
A minor’s PAN request is generally handled through a parent or guardian, who acts on the minor’s behalf during the process. The guardian’s own identity and address evidence may also be needed.
How to prepare
Preparation generally falls into a few categories:
- evidence relating to the minor’s identity and date of birth;
- address evidence;
- the parent or guardian’s identity and address evidence;
- a photograph, where the process requires one.
The final list follows current official guidance. CAREALL confirms it after understanding your situation.
Start simply
Your first request needs only the parent’s or guardian’s basic contact details, the preferred language and the applicant category. Do not send documents or identity numbers until CAREALL asks through an approved route.
