Secured way to safe keep and share e-Documents

Digital Locker, one of the key initiatives under the Digital India initiative, is aimed at eliminating the usage of physical documents (Pan Card, Driving Licence, Birth certificate, Marksheets, Income Tax return etc),  and enable sharing of e-documents across government agencies via a mechanism to verify “authenticity” of the documents online. Residents can also upload their own electronic documents and digitally sign them using the e-sign facility. These digitally signed documents can be shared with Government organizations or other entities.

1. Citizens with Aadhaar number can create Digital Locker accounts
2. Kindly ensure that your current mobile number is registered with Aadhaar number
3. You can update your mobile number in Aadhaar by visiting any UIDAI center
