What is DigiLocker?

What is DigiLocker?

DigiLocker is an Indian digitization online service provided by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India under its Digital India initiative. DigiLocker provides an account in the cloud to every Aadhaar holder to access authentic documents/certificates such as driving license, vehicle registration, and academic mark sheet in digital format from the original issuers of these certificates. It also provides 1GB of storage space to each account to upload scanned copies of legacy documents.

DigiLocker is a simple and convenient product that can share documents online, accessed anytime, anywhere. Moreover, all the documents can be authenticated by the users, legally on a par with originals, and are accepted by the government of India as a substitute for the original one if required to produce one.

These documents are issued directly by the registered issuers such as Income Tax Department, CBSE, Registrar Office, etc.
