    What is DigiLocker?

    What is DigiLocker?
  • Nearly a year ago, DigiLocker - a digital locker for all government documents was launched by the government.

    DigiLocker has now partnered with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways which will allow you to acquire a digital driving license and vehicle registration documents.

    Verification of these documents will be possible by officials who have their own version of the DigiLocker app.

  • Details

    How would DigiLocker work?

    How would DigiLocker work?
  • One will be required to sign up with DigiLocker's Android Application which will verify the user's identity via a phone number.

    Upon signing up with the DigiLocker app, the user will be given access to a dedicated cloud-storage space.

    However, reports suggest that an Aadhaar registration will also be required to upload documents and it would be linked to the user's phone number.

  • Information

    All in one place!

  • The government will provide users 1GB of storage space through DigiLocker and citizens can utilize this to store a variety of documents such as identification cards like voter identification card, Permanent Account Number or various educational degrees.

  • Pros and Cons

    Is it a good move?

    Is it a good move?
  • The DigiLocker service is expected to result in assured authenticity and a significant reduction in administration overheads.

    It would also cut down on corruption and red-tape by making it easier for a large majority to access documents and contribute to the government's vision of 'paperless governance'.

    However, in practice, many have reported problems with the DigiLocker app, website, OTPs, crashes and multiple execution issues.

  • Information

    DigiLocker's massive reach!

  • According to available data with the government, DigiLocker currently has 21,26,332 registered users who've uploaded 24,11,702 documents and as of September 1, 2016, over 4.2 crore documents had already been issued.
