DigiLocker

India

DigiLocker is India's national digital document wallet, run by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) under the Digital India programme. It lets people store and share official documents that are pulled directly from the issuing authority, and each fetched document carries the issuer's digital signature, so it holds the same legal standing as the original. A DigiLocker account is linked to the person's Aadhaar number and registered mobile number.

What is DigiLocker?

DigiLocker is India's national digital document wallet, run by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) under the Digital India programme. It lets people store and share official documents that are pulled directly from the issuing authority, and each fetched document carries the issuer's digital signature, so it holds the same legal standing as the original. A DigiLocker account is linked to the person's Aadhaar number and registered mobile number.

Verification asks the person to sign in to DigiLocker with their phone number, a one-time passcode sent to that number, and their six-digit DigiLocker PIN. The person consents to share their documents, and verified attributes are then returned from official records such as the Aadhaar or PAN card. Because the person authenticates on the official DigiLocker page, this is a consent-based flow rather than a document upload.

DigiLocker is an official government service and is widely used across banking, insurance, and public services for digital KYC. It is not compulsory, but it is one of the most common ways to complete a paperless identity check in India.
