DigiLocker is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) under the Digital India program. DigiLocker aims at ‘Digital Empowerment of citizens by providing access to authentic digital documents in citizens’ digital document wallets. Following an order issued by the Union Ministry of Transport and Highways, documents saved in the DigiLocker will now be considered valid in all states. It is safe, secure, and free. Everyone can use it to store important and official documents such as Driving licenses, RC, educational certificates, birth certificates, PAN cards, Aadhaar cards, Passports, and Voter IDs on a mobile phone. You can also sign into digilocker.gov.in using a web browser.
You can access the Digilocker at digilocker.gov.in. You can even download the application from the play/app store on your mobile phone. Further, you can use your Aadhaar number to create a digital locker account via visiting the Digilocker website. Make sure that your current phone number is registered with the Aadhaar number. One thing you must understand is that you cannot delete the Digilocker account after it has been created. Moreover, the user name cannot be changed once it is fixed. If your Aadhaar number is connected to Digilocker, then your Aadhaar number will be linked to your Digilocker account permanently. Also, you cannot delete the documents pulled from other departments (Income Tax Departments, CBSE etc.) into the Digilocker account.
Also with many things going digital during the pandemic, this app has indeed helped in the creation of an authentic proof of RC and DL, a very important and useful feature. Hence one doesn’t have to carry the hard copy for these two documents as the virtual DL and RC are available via this app. The process to resume using this application is fairly simple.
