DIGITAL LOCKER

 What is DigiLocker?

DigiLocker provides a personal storage space in the cloud to Indian citizens. Organizations that are registered with DigiLocker can push electronic copies of documents and certificates (e.g. driving license, Voter ID, School certificates) directly into citizens’ lockers. Citizens can also upload scanned copies of their legacy documents in their accounts. These legacy documents can be electronically signed using the eSign facility provided in DigiLocker.

A citizen can share these electronic certificates online with various agencies while applying for the services provided by them.

How does DigiLocker work?

To sign up for a DigiLocker account, you need to have an Aadhaar number. There are two ways to sign up:


1 . Mobile OTP: Use this method if your Aadhaar number is linked to your mobile number. Once you enter the Aadhaar number on the Sign Up page, a “One Time Password” (OTP) is sent to your mobile through SMS.




2. Biometric: If you have a biometric device attached to your computer, you can sign up by scanning your fingerprint. After successful OPT or biometric validation, you are asked to create a username and password. This completes the sign up process.
