Ditch the Paperwork! Go Digital with DigiLocker
What is Digilocker ?
The Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY)'s main project under the Digital India program is called DigiLocker. By giving citizens access to genuine digital documents in their digital document wallet, DigiLocker seeks to "empower" citizens through digital means.
How does it help ?
Benefits of DigiLocker for Citizens:
Get your documents anytime, anywhere: No more searching for papers! DigiLocker stores your important documents online, so you can access them from your phone, computer, or any device with internet. This means you can have your documents with you wherever you go, whenever you need them.
Use digital documents that are legal: Forget carrying around paper copies! Documents issued through DigiLocker are just as good as originals. This means they are accepted by government offices, schools, and other places that need to see your documents.
Share documents securely with others: DigiLocker lets you easily share your documents with people who need them, like government offices or schools. You choose which documents to share and for how long. This is a safe and convenient way to share your information.
Get faster service: DigiLocker can speed up things you need from the government. When you apply for something online, you can share your documents from DigiLocker instead of mailing them in. This saves time for you and the government.
Benefits of DigiLocker for Agencies:
Reduced Administrative Costs: DigiLocker promotes paperless governance. This translates to less paper for printing, storing, and managing documents. Additionally, the verification process becomes faster, streamlining operations and reducing overall administrative costs.
Digital Transformation and Reliable Documents: When citizens use DigiLocker, agencies receive documents directly from the issuing source, ensuring authenticity. DigiLocker acts as a secure storage unit, making these verified documents readily available to agencies whenever needed.
Secure Document Sharing with Citizen Control: DigiLocker provides a secure platform for agencies to receive documents directly from citizens. Citizens choose which documents to share and for how long. This eliminates the risk of lost or forged documents while still giving citizens control over their information.
Real-Time Verification for Faster Decisions: With citizen consent, DigiLocker allows agencies to verify the authenticity of documents directly with the issuing agency in real-time. This eliminates the need for manual verification, leading to faster decision-making for both agencies and citizens.
Are your Documents safe ?
Using DigiLocker is safe. The software is built with all the security safeguards required to protect your personal information. Your personal and financial asset information is protected because the app is hosted in accordance with ISO 27001 standards. Additionally, the application makes use of 256-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates, which encrypts the data you supply while issuing papers. In order to obtain papers from the government or registered issuers, users must authenticate themselves using their Aadhaar details.
The sign-up process based on mobile authentication is the next crucial security precaution. When a user opens the DigiLocker app, their identity is verified by mobile OTPs. DigiLocker ends sessions when the software detects inactivity for prolonged periods of time, which is another measure to protect user information from unwanted access.
