Overview
DigiLocker, an initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) under the Digital India campaign, is an online service that facilitates the digitization of documents in India. It offers every Aadhaar holder a cloud-based account to access authenticated digital copies of various documents and certificates. These include driving licenses, vehicle registrations, academic mark sheets, and more, directly from the original issuers. Additionally, each account is allocated 1GB of storage space to upload scanned copies of legacy documents.
With DigiLocker, sharing documents online becomes simple and convenient, as they can be accessed anytime, anywhere. These digital copies are legally recognized by the government of India and can serve as substitutes for the original documents when required. They are authenticated by the users themselves and originate from registered issuers such as the Income Tax Department, CBSE, Registrar Office, and others.
