DigiLocker is a government-backed cloud-based platform that allows citizens to store, share, and verify documents and certificates digitally. It’s a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) under the Digital India program and is intended to help citizens access authentic documents in their digital document wallet. DigiLocker documents are considered to be equal to the original physical documents. By using DigiLocker, you can conveniently access your documents anytime, anywhere, and enjoy the benefits of paperless governance. DigiLocker can also be useful for verifying documents with government agencies. For example, if an agency asks for legal documents for verification when applying for an exam or service, you can provide your locker number so they can quickly verify your identity. This eliminates the need to carry original documents and the risk of losing them.
