DigiLocker provides instant access to verified digital copies of your Aadhaar card, driving license, and vehicle registration certificates directly from official issuing authorities. Under Indian IT Rules, these electronic documents carry equal legal status to physical originals for administrative verification. Setting up your secure account takes only five minutes with your mobile number and Aadhaar.
Create and Verify Your DigiLocker Profile
Download the official DigiLocker application from your mobile application store or visit the official web portal. Enter your full name matching your official records, date of birth, and Aadhaar number to trigger an OTP verification. Set a six-digit security PIN that you will use every time you access your stored documents.
Fetch Documents Directly from Issuing Authorities
Go to the Issued Documents section and select the government department that issued your record, such as the Ministry of Road Transport or UIDAI. Enter your document registration or roll number to link the official record to your profile. The system pulls a digitally signed document directly from the departmental database, creating a tamper-proof copy.
Share Verified Documents Securely via QR Code
To present a document to an official inspector or verification officer, open the specific document card within the application. Show the built-in QR code or export a signed PDF with official digital signatures. This eliminates the risk of losing original paper certificates during routine inspections or administrative submissions.
