Digital Aadhaar in DigiLocker is the same as eAadhaar issued by UIDAI (https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in). DigiLocker has partnered with UIDAI to make it available automatically to its users when they link their DigiLocker account with Aadhaar.
The advantage of digital Aadhaar is that it can now be used in the same way as any other DigiLocker document.

Here are the steps to get eAadhaar in DigiLocker if you already have Aadhaar linked DigiLocker account:

1. Login to DigiLocker with your credentials.
2. Upon login to DigiLocker, you will see a dialog box with a message to get your eAadhaar.
3. Click on “Click here” link. OTP box will appear in the dialog.
4. You will receive an OTP on your mobile number linked to Aadhaar. Enter this OTP in the OTP box and click “Verify OTP” button.
5. On successful validation of the OTP you will be redirected to “Issued Document” page where URI for eAadhaar will be listed.
6. Click on “Save” icon next to Aadhaar Card on “Issued Document” page. Your eAadhaar will be saved to “Uploaded Document” section.

DigiLocker has partnered with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for making available digital driving license & vehicle registration certificates to Indian citizens. Under this partnership, DigiLocker is now directly integrated with the National Register, which is the national database of driving license and vehicle registration data across the country. Henceforth, DigiLocker users will be able to access their digital RC & DL both on desktop computers and on mobile devices.

Benefits of this integration -

• Paperless Services: Digital driving license and vehicle registration will minimize the use of physical documents.
• Authentic Records: Citizens can share the authentic digital certificates directly from the data source with other departments as identity and address proof resulting in reduction of administrative overhead.
• Spot Verification: The digital RC and DL in a DigiLocker account can be spot verified for authenticity either by validating the Digital Signature of MoRTH on the PDF copy of the document or by scanning the QR code on digital documents by using the QR scan facility on DigiLocker mobile app.

For getting the digital RC & DL, users should ensure their Aadhaar number is linkedwith their DigiLocker account. Once this is done, they can go to the "Pull Partner Documents" section, select the issuer & document type and enter the document details asked for. This will allow them to fetch their document from the MoRTH database. Once the document is fetched, users can save a permanent link (URI) to this digital document in their “Issued Documents” section for later reuse.
Please see this step by step demo for the process of getting the digital RC & DL
http://www.slideshare.net/digilocker_ind/how-users-can-get-their-digital-driving-license-vehicle-registration-from-digilocker-66061579

Citizens can get their Digital RC & DL on both desktop and on mobile devices (Android only at present, iOS coming soon!).

The digital RC & DL in DigiLocker is digitally signed by MoRTH. It is fetched in real-time directly from the National Register database and has a timestamp for record keeping purposes. This digital document is a legally valid document under the Indian IT Act 2000.

While fetching the MoRTH digital records in DigiLocker, your name in your Aadhaar card should match your name in the RC & DL database of the National Register. This ensures that only the rightful owner of the documents is able to fetch the digital DL & RC.

DigiLocker has integrated with the National Register, which is a central database maintained by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. If your DL or RC record does not exist in the National Register, DigiLocker will be unable to get it for you.

This message can come if some of the details filled by you are incorrect. Please check your data and try again.

The QR code scanning facility in the DigiLocker mobile app only works with certain documents issued directly from registered issuers through DigiLocker. At present only the DigiLocker Digital RC & DL have this QR code feature working. It will not work for any other document.

This error can only be possible if your Aadhaar number is already registered with a DigiLocker account and now you have created a second DigiLocker account (using another mobile) and are trying to link the Aadhaar in this second account. We suggest you retrieve your credentials using Forgot Username/Password (using Aadhaar method) for the first account and continue using it.

DigiLocker has partnered with CBSE for issuing digital mark sheets to 2016 Class XII students. Students who have registered their mobile number with CBSE would receive their DigiLocker account credentials through SMS, while those who don’t have their mobiles registered with CBSE would need to create a DigiLocker account with their mobile number, sync with their Aadhaar number and then pull their mark sheet from the CBSE databases. For step by step instructions on how to do this, please visit watch this demo: http://www.slideshare.net/digilocker_ind/how-cbse-students-can-get-their-digital-marksheets-from-digilocker

For logging into DigiLocker with the credentials sent by CBSE via SMS, please note that the password is in lower-case characters."]; ?>

Your mother's first name in (lower case) should exactly match with the name written on your admit card. E.g. If your mother's name on your admit card is A Sharma and roll number is 1234567, your password will be a4567. If your mother’s name on your admit card is Sushmita Mahajan and your roll number is 1234567, your password will be sushmita4567."]; ?>

Signing up for DigiLocker is easy - all you need is your mobile number.

Your mobile number will be authenticated by sending an OTP (one-time password) followed by selecting a username & password. This will create your DigiLocker account.

After your DigiLocker account is successfully created, you can voluntarily provide your Aadhaar number (issued by UIDAI) to avail additional services.

OTP is a random one-time password generated by the UIDAI system and sent to your registered mobile number and email-id.
The OTP is valid for 30 mins only. If you enter the OTP after 30 mins, it will be rendered invalid and you will have to enter a fresh one.

For linking your DigiLocker account with Aadhaar, your mobile must be linked with your Aadhaar number. Please make sure this is actually the case.
To verify this, visit https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ and download your eAadhaar. You will be able to check the linked mobile number (last four digits) during this process.

For linking your mobile number with Aadhaar, you will have to visit your nearest Aadhaar enrolment center.
Please visit https://uidai.gov.in/update-your-aadhaar-data.html for the list of enrolment centers.

For registering with DigiLocker, please make sure you have correctly entered the 12 digit Aadhaar number that you received from UIDAI in the given text box.

While using DigiLocker, the OTP is sent instantaneously. Sometimes there may be temporary problems either on our servers (while generating/sending OTP) or in delivery of the SMS by your mobile service provider. We suggest you wait for few more minutes and try again.

This may sometimes happen due to technical issues on our servers or with the UIDAI service. Most likely it’s a temporary problem. Please try again after sometime.

Issued documents are e-documents issued by various government agencies in electronic format directly from the original data source and the URI (link) of these documents is available in the issued documents section of DigiLocker. Whereas uploaded documents are those e-documents uploaded directly by the DigiLocker user.

There are two ways issued documents show up in DigiLocker -

• Push (via Aadhaar) - This method works when the issuer database is seeded with the Aadhaar number of citizens. Once a registered issuer issues an e-document for a particular Aadhaar number (and the respective DigiLocker account already exists for that Aadhaar number), the URI for that document will be get pushed automatically into DigiLocker.
• Pull (via search parameters) - This method is used when the issuer database does not contain the seeded Aadhaar number. For certain issuers which have a partnership with DigiLocker, citizens can log into DigiLocker and pull their record from the issuer database using some common search parameters. Once the record is fetched, a permanent link (URI) to it can be saved in the issued document section.

In both cases, the URI (link) is available in issued documents section and this link directly fetches the document in real-time from the original data source.

You can upload documents from inside your ‘Uploaded Documents’ section.

1. Click the upload icon to start uploading a document. In the file upload dialog box, locate the file from your local drive and select 'open' to complete the uploading."]; ?>
2. To assign a document type to your uploaded file, click 'select doc type'. This will show a pop up with a drop down selection of various document types. Choose the appropriate document type and click 'save
3. You can also edit the name of the file using the edit icon next to the filename.

Maximum allowed file size is 10MB.

File types that can be uploaded - pdf, jpeg & png.

A URI is a Uniform Resource Identifier generated by the issuer department, which is mandatory for every e-document of the DigiLocker system. This unique URI can be resolved to a full URL (Uniform Resource Locator) to access the actual document in its appropriate repository.
