Now all the states have started recognizing Digital Locker. There are numerous benefits of having a Digital Locker account such as Citizens can access their digital documents anytime and share them online for their ease and convenience.

It lessens the governmental overhead of government offices by limiting the usage of paper, empowers computerized strengthening of occupants, guarantees the validity of the e-archives, and along these lines wiping out the use of phony reports, guarantee protection and approved admittance to inhabitants' information and a lot more advantages that residents can appreciate. Many more benefits can be found with a Digital Locker account.

It also helps in keeping other important documents safe such as a driving license, voter ID, PAN card, and Aadhar card.

Digital Locker is a key initiative under Digital India corporation, the Indian Government’s flagship program aimed at transforming India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. Digital Locker ties into Digital India’s vision areas of providing citizens a shareable private space on a public cloud and making all documents/certificates available on this cloud.

Targeted at the idea of paperless governance, Digital Locker is a platform for issuance and verification of documents & certificates digitally, thus removing the use of physical documents. Indian citizens who sign up for a Digital Locker account get a dedicated cloud storage space that is linked to their Aadhaar (UIDAI) number.

Organizations that are registered with Digital Locker can push electronic copies of documents and certificates (e.g. driving license, Voter ID, School certificates) directly into citizens’ lockers. Citizens can also upload scanned copies of their legacy documents to their accounts. These legacy documents can be electronically signed using the e-Sign facility.

The platform has the following benefits:

Citizens can access their digital documents anytime, anywhere, and share them online. This is both useful and time-saving.

It reduces the administrative overhead of Government departments by minimizing the use of paper.

Digital Locker makes it easier to validate the integrity of documents as they are issued directly by the registered issuers.

Self-uploaded documents can be digitally signed using the e-Sign facility (which is similar to the process of declaration).

The following are the key stakeholders in the Digital Locker system:

  • Issuer: Entity issuing e-documents to individuals in a standard format and making them electronically available e.g. CBSE, Registrar Office, Income Tax department, etc.
  • Requester: Entity requesting secure access to a particular e-document stored within an archive (e.g. University, Passport Office, Regional Transport Office, etc.)
  • Resident: An individual who uses the Digital Locker service based on the Aadhaar number.

The main technology components of the Digital Locker system are:

  • Source: Collection of e-documents that are exposed via standard APIs for secure, real-time access.
  • Requesters can obtain e-documents from numerous sources in real-time utilizing the Access Gateway, which is a secure online system (Uniform Resource Indicator).
  • Digital Locker Portal: Dedicated cloud-based personal storage space, linked to each resident’s Aadhaar for storing e-documents, or URIs of e-documents.

Benefits of Digital Locker
