Aadhaar and PAN cards are considered to be very important documents as they serve as ID proof when needed. However, it is not practical to carry them physically with you at all times. To address this, the government has introduced DigiLocker, a digital platform that enables the storage of all government-issued documents, including Aadhaar, PAN cards, driving licenses, certificates, and other important documents, in one place.
Having these documents in digital form on your smartphone can be extremely useful as they are always accessible, and you don’t have to carry them physically. DigiLocker allows you to safely and securely store all government-issued documents, including certificates, ration cards, and more. You can even choose to hide important documents like life insurance policies.
This digital platform offers much flexibility, especially when you must show your documents, such as while travelling or when caught by traffic police for not carrying your driving license. You can use DigiLocker to access these documents anytime and from anywhere. You can also store other valuable documents digitally, making it a very convenient and useful tool.
How to use DigiLocker to Save important documents
- First, you need to install the DigiLocker app on your phone.
- After entering your name, date of birth, e-mail, and mobile number, you must enter your security PIN.
- The OTP will be sent to the mobile number linked to the Aadhaar card. Enter it and click submit to create an account.
- After signing in with the help of an Aadhaar number or 6-digit security, your Aadhaar details will appear. Your photo will also appear on the top right.
- Now, you can sync your important documents issued by various central or state government authorities into DigiLocker.
- Those DigiLocker documents are also treated as originals and issued by the responsible authorities at any time.
